eggplant

i saw the veggie patch yesterday and decided to make a contribution. lata maam please include this kolam in the veggie patch. i drew it by hand only but colouring i have done in paint.

Brinjal or the eggplant may perhaps be called the queen of all Indian vegetables. If one takes the average yield of all food crops (grains, vegetables, fruits, etc.) in weight for a given area of land, the yield for rice is only 70% of the average whereas the yield for brinjals is 200%! Next to China, India produces maximum amount of this crop. It is liked by one and all in India. It has curative properties for cholesterol reduction. Along with beans, eggplant is extremely good in reducing sugar levels for diabetic patients. If you're a diabetic you don't have to swallow the bitter bitter-gourd, but instead get the same desired effect with brinjals and beans. Try brinjal slices in pizza for a change! Here is a collage of brinjals for your pleasure. Enjoy!
