Oven roasted Zucchini and Onions

We are back from our 3 week whirlwind trip to India. We had a wonderful trip back home.

The aromatic powder gives good flavor to the cooked brinjal. Other vegetables that can be used are beans, carrots, cabbage and of course potatoes. My MIL reminded me that this is referred to as Kuttida Palya in Kannada.
