Anda phugina and Baingan ka bharta

Here in my blog I want to enter recipes as groups. That is, as a whole set for a complete dinner or lunch. Usually when I decide I want to make some curry then my big question will be what should be the accompanement with that...in indian language-Khatta. So here on my blog you will find both of the them, which I feel is a good combination for a day

So, today's recipes are Anda Phugina (called ande ka kharaz in my house), Baingan bharta with white rice
