A few days ago when I was thinking about what can I try new that is simple but elegant, mouth watering but does not take much effort, I decided to try eggplant rollatini. This veggy dish, with its cheesy goodness of ricotta, mozarella and parmesan turned out to be super hit with my hubby and daughter. Both of them instantly requested me to repeat the dish as soon as possible. The aroma of this Italian delicacy is just irresistible. The mix of baked brinjal with tomato puree and the cheese was complementing each other perfectly. This is a perfect dish to make your children start eating brinjal if they do not like this vegetable. Please let me know how it turned out at your end.
