I'll search for the foto sir! It has purple flower and is commonly cultivated in Arunachal. I earlier thought it to be Solanum kurzii. But that plant is listed in Red Data Book. So m not sure still.

 

Regads,

Ritesh.

Even smallest fruits in S. melongena are not not that small. Also skin texture is different.
