Baingan Bharta Recipe with step by step pictures. This is made with Eggplant, Onions and Green Chillies.
Baingan Bharta
I have been thinking of making this dish for quite a while. Whenever i go to supermarkets i buy an eggplant to make this, but i end up making this brinjal fry or this simple brinjal roast. Last week i bought this eggplant and immediately got into action and made it, i loved it so much and it turned out brilliant.
This dish is similar to baba ganoush, will share that recipe soon. You can serve it with roti or rice. You can even serve it as dip for chips or anything. Give this a try and let me know how it turn out.

I make small prick with a fruit knife , and add garlic pods in each of them , and then roast , it tastes much better and also I add lime after I remove from the stove .

Is one brinjal enough? Don't we get more tomato taste than brinjal? Are we roasting the brinjal just to remove the skin or to cook the brinjal completely?
Aarthi
@Anonymousyes it is enough. it is a big one. And you have to cook the brinjal completely.
