Battered Eggplant in Onion Gravy

Christmas is just around the corner. It is this time of the year when my family do Christmas shopping. Two days ago, my sister and I went to Makro  for groceries and Christmas decors. While at the vegetable section my sister spotted these round purple eggplant. She hurriedly called my attention to show them. It was unusual to see these kind of eggplant in Thailand. The long, green and slender kind were always available at the supermarkets. We bought a couple of them . I knew right then that I could cook a different dish.

A day after, when I came home from work I opened the fridge and  saw these beautiful eggplant. I remembered a good eggplant recipe  I used to cook  while living in China.I was so excited that I started cooking right away.
