Long Aubergine

Indian long aubergines, often referred to as “brinjal” in India, are a variety of eggplant that are typically elongated and slender in shape. Here are some descriptive features:
1. Shape and Size: These aubergines are long, thin, and cylindrical, often measuring anywhere from 6 to 12 inches in length. Their smooth, glossy skin typically ranges from deep purple to a lighter, greenish hue, depending on the variety.
2. Texture: The flesh is firm, yet tender when cooked, with a spongy, smooth texture. The skin is thin, making it easy to cut and cook without needing to peel it.
3. Flavour: Indian long aubergines have a mild, slightly bitter taste when raw, but once cooked, they develop a rich, smoky, and savoury flavour. This makes them ideal for grilling, frying, or incorporating into curries and stews
