The scallops are springy, succulent and sweet with a hint of its oceanic origin, which are deliciously complemented with the creamy and savory gratinated cheese on top. The piece of brinjal that each scallop sits on is tender and juicy with an al-dente bite and a velvety texture. The brinjal's combination of sweet and savory pulls the dish together and makes this morsel a rainbow myriad of tastes and textures.
