Today a variety of readymade dips are available in the market. But it is wiser to make one at home since it will be free of preservatives as well as more nutritious. You can even use it as a sandwich spread as it is healthier as compared to a calorie laden cheese or mayonnaise based sandwich.

Nothing like the taste of burnt brinjal which is blended and then mixed with low fat curds and spiced with green chilli and flavored with garlic. Healthy and brinjals are a rich source of iron. Serve with cucumber or carrots.
