When you cook the vegetables with fats like oil (fat is a flavor enhancer and makes food crispier when you cook it at a medium temperature), they soak up the aromas of the spices you add and juices from that vegetable when you eat it, your entire tongue stimulates your taste buds for a longer time than the one without adding any oils.
Ingredients ⧪
Brinjal - Six numbers (medium-sized ones)
Coconut oil - as per your requirement

Turmeric powder - 2 pinches
Chilly powder - 2 teaspoons (or as much as you can)
