Brinjal, also known as eggplant or aubergine, is a versatile fruit (often mistaken for a vegetable) that belongs to the nightshade family. It comes in various shapes and sizes, typically ranging from small and round to long and slender varieties. Brinjal's smooth, glossy skin can be purple, black, white, green, or striped, depending on the variety. The flesh inside is creamy white with small edible seeds and has a slightly bitter taste, which becomes tender and mildly sweet when cooked. Brinjal is used in cuisines around the world, especially in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian dishes. It can be grilled, roasted, fried, stewed, or baked, making it a versatile ingredient in both vegetarian and meat-based recipes.
