Egg plant & Dry shrimp

A purple dish, sounds odd? Anyway, eggplant or brinjal or aubergine taste the same to me. I have no idea what is the different, they just seems like under the same family... all purple to me. There are 2 types commonly seen, one is the long purple Brinjal shape like a cucumber. Another is round the round purple Eggplant, like a little pumpkin. Before its cooked, its feels like a tough sponge, floats if you soak it with water. After its cooked, it will be soft. 

One problem about the eggplant, seeds will turn black after sometime after cutting and left uncooked. Therefore, you would need to prepare them only when you are ready to cook. Even after cooking, it will look rather dull. It does not matter the color as long as it taste good.
