Roasted bringal/eggplant relish

    Bringal is one of my favorite vegetable.There are so many things one can cook with it.The various kinds in the market make this vegetable very good for playing around with it in various cuisine.This time I had this nice round clean bringal which I decided to roast.But when I scooped it out after roasting , there was just 1 bowl of flesh.Thought should make it into a relish or a raita.This can be eaten as a raita with the Indian food or as a dip with chips or nachos.We just loved it .I will now try and make more variations to this now.
Ingredients
Roasted and scooped bringal                1 small cup
Fresh curd                                            1 cup

chilli flakes                                           1/2 tsp
