Eggplant
A warm-season vegetable (Solanum melongena) of Asiatic origin belonging to the plant order Polemoniales (formerly Tubiflorales). Eggplant is grown for its usually egg-shaped fleshy fruit and is eaten as a cooked vegetable. Popular purple-fruited varieties (cultivars) are Black Beauty and a number of hybrid varieties; fruits of other colors, including white, brown, yellow, and green, are used chiefly for ornamental purposes. Florida and New Jersey are important eggplant-producing states.

Eggplant is a large (usually) dark purple squash-like fruit. It is used in a lot of Italian dishes (Eggplant Parmesan, etc)
I dont cook eggplant. I find it bitter and soaks up oil like a sponge.

The Brinjal or more popularly, 'Baigan' (in Hindi) is known as the Eggplant in academic circles. It is so called because of its popular egg-shaped body. It is a very rich source of iron and calcium. The popular recipes are 'Baigan Bharta', 'Stuffed Baigan' and 'Baigan Fry'!!
Enjoy cooking and tasting the same!!
