Q: Varuni: i have made the eggplant chutney a few times – it comes out tasty, but a different color than yours? any pointers?
A: Rukmini: The reason for darker color of eggplant chutney is probably due to not so fresh eggplant. Eggplant should have glowing skin and light weight – not heavy, because heavy ones will have more seeds and less white flesh.
