Ha Amani.

Umm not sure what it's called in English, but there's an image here with vhengru in. Not the best of images, it's the dark maroon/black things on top of the carrots.

vengru ( or wengru as some say ;D )-aubergine

 

[Duhaa]

Ha we call it ringru, I'm a bharuchi kid.

And kitchree karee, I heard that surti people call it the other way round karee kitchree but bharuchis call it kitchree karee. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but that's what my friends at mosque used to tell me.
It doesnt really matter coz I dont like it but my family eat it with fried potatoes.

Majority of the time we speak english in the house, but when gran and older people are around we try to speak gujarati.
