Simple Brinjal Gravy

This brinjal gravy is the easiest to make and it goes well with rice or chapati. Instead of making a masala paste add the bay leaves, pepper corns, cinnamon  and cloves in whole. The whole garam masala gives a very nice aroma and light flavour to the gravy. Some different taste than garam masala powder.
