This popular dish Ringan Bateta from our restaurant Sanskruti could be straight from a dinner table in Gujarati, India. Head Chef Hemali Shukla’s passion is to share Indian culture and tradition through her vegetarian and vegan food.
Ringan Bateta is full of vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre. Aubergines are also a good source of B1 vitamin (good for energy production, a healthy nervous system and heart) and B6 vitamin (red blood cell and cell production). The purple skin on aubergines is rich in antioxidants.
This recipe is a sinch to make, delicious not to mention suitable for vegans and gluten free.
