If you have been following my blog, then you probably are well aware that I am a huge fan of Baingan aka Eggplants. Give me some eggplants with or without the bread, and I am a happy camper. My love for eggplants knows no boundary. That’s for real. I can eat, sleep, talk and walk eggplants…LOL
For those who are not sure what I am talking about, then Bharwaan = Stuffed and Baingan = Eggplant or Brinjal or Aubergine. So Bharwaan Baingan = Stuffed Eggplants. These are stuffed with Indian Curry Spices.
Whenever I visit my mom back home, she knows that the first thing that tops my list of “mom made food” is Baingan ka Bharta and Urad ki sookhi daal. Eggplants are roasted on slow fire and then mashed to cook with onion tomato base. Traditionally, the eggplants are roasted on mud earthen oven for long hours which lends it a smoky flavor. It is finger licking delicious.
And now my love for AIR FRYER knows no boundaries. It took me a long time in deciding to buy PHILIPS AIR FRYER. But I am glad that I bought it.
Here are some reasons to invest in an AIR FRYER
- It is a very convenient gadget to use.
- Air fryer is very easy to clean up.
- Since the food is cooked in less fat/oil, it is healthier. It is perfect for the people who are trying to watch their weight.
- Food cooks faster in it as compared to a conventional oven. You can make cakes, muffins etc., in it.
- The Air Fryer is especially good for replacing deep fried food. You can make fritters, fries, pakodas, French fries, bread pakoda, kofta, falafel, cutlets, vegetable balls/kofta, kachoris, samosa and much more in an Air Fryer without actually deep frying the food.

I am not the kind of person who spends a lot of money on Kitchen Gadgets unless I am convinced with it. Having said that, I do have a couple of Gadgets that are good and come pretty handy. These gadgets make your life efficient in the kitchen. As a result, you have more time to spend with your family.
I enjoy cooking in these every day and hopefully can inspire you to cook in these as well.
Some of these that I recommend are –
Instant Pot and that too Mini Instant Pot is perfect for daily use
Electric Grill – I love this product for grilling burgers and making grilled sandwiches. Even the quesadillas and wraps turn out so good in this.
The Electric Griddle – another product that i love when i a making pancakes, crepes, dosa, hosting parties and heating multiple breads or naans and much more.
