Brinjal rolls

This is a unique recipe made from brinjals. One can choose any variety but take that the slices of brinjals should be big enough to be rolled. This dish can even be served as a starter or a side dish. I came across this kind of dish while seeing a cooking reality show and somehow forgot the ingredients. I devised one on my own and it turned out fairly good. This is  a good recipe to surprise unexpected guests.
Here I chose the long variety of Brinjals but this works equally well on eggplants too.
The brinjals arranged on the pan with the chutney spread on top.
The brinjal rolls ready
