Sure, this is the most popular combination..atleast it did at our home..
shilpa, as you say they are very good pairs, alo and brinjal, and also a piece of carrot and some peas, a very colorful treat indeed. Brinjal is a lovely vegetable, has its own taste and goes well with any dish, the picture looks tempting
I love eggplant and potato curries. would definitely like to tr this one as it looks so delicious.
Cooked a similar combination last Sunday. Used Garam Masala. Must try with the spice powder you mentioned.
I love to have this spicy potatoes and eggplants. It look very tasty and delicious.
I have these spice powders ready and use them to jazz up any dish
Love the crunch 
Wanted to check if you know someone who can get me some information about Puttur?
Cheers
What info do you need Raaga? I will ask my parents, I am not sure they would know though.
I really love Baingan. But my husband doesn’t. So whenever I get a chance, I don’t miss to have either baingan bharta or may be simple sabji like the way you made. With soft hot rotis they make a perfect meal.
I love eggplants. This a very appealing recipe.

Vangi\Batata – any style is always good.
I particularly like this made with amti\kumta masala. And another favourite is the gujrati ringaan\batata shaak
This is a great recipe. I will probably reduce the methi the next time – it was a little bitter. Please could you post the other combinations you suggested for the spice powder? I would love to try them too. Thanks again for all your wonderful recipes.
