Method :
Cut the brinjals into 1-1/2 to 2 inches strips, about 1/2 inch thick. Chop the onion and ginger finely, cut the chilies in strips. Heat oil and fry onion, ginger and chilies till onion changes colour. Add turmeric, then add the brinjals and the salt. Mix well, fry, then cover and cook on low heat.
