When I think about the Holidays, warm and comforting foods come to my mind. And by comfort I mean, stepping out of your “diet” regime and indulging a bit. I rarely develop savory recipes using butter as a main or starring ingredient, but this was just too good to pass up. Fresh brussel sprouts, roasted …

The one we traditionally make at home is a Maharashtrian, and most similar to the South-Indian version of Bhaingan Bharta. I love this dish in the summer because it can served at room temperature or cold. It is …
