Spicy Eggplant , Okra and Potatoes from my Mother in Law's kitchen

Color up that food Palette With Sindh Bharwa Spice Stuffed Okra, Eggplant and Potatoes . ⠀
⠀
This is a recipe from my MIL’s Sindhi kitchen and one that was the starting point for creating this spice mix . Indulgent becoz the veggies are pre-fried before filling in the spices and then cooked again but Delicious in every bite. ⠀
⠀
You can choose to oven bake the veggies before stuffing to avoid the deep frying or even skip it altogether and just pan fry the Okra prior to a stuffing to avoid the gluey texture. Either way you are in a for a Mouthwatering TREAT without the hassle of roasting /blending the chickpea flour and spices separately .
