The dish that started it all

It was my very first Eggplant Parmesan and it was a success. Woohoo! The secret? Panko breadcrumbs! Or was that on my second attempt? My husband enjoyed eating it more than I did as I'm not really a fan of eggplant, at least, not cooked this way. I remembered the eggplant of my youth. Brinjal, we called it. Sliced in half and pan-fried in oil. Still, this was delicious and it was hubby who wanted to take a picture of it. So in a way, this was the dish that started it all. It boosted my confidence. So thank you, Eggplant Parmesan. And yes, I will be cooking you again some time in the future, I'm sure. There is already a box of panko breadcrumbs just waiting to be used.
