A simple baingan bharta recipe without the use of many masalas and spices. We
simply love this recipe in its simplicity and taste. Baingan Bharta is one of the favorite North Indian cuisine and also from authentic gujarati dishes. Even those who don’t like it will relish eating Baingan Bharta for sure. You can make this delicious dish in very less time with ingredients like Brinjal, tomatoes, spices and green coriander.
I have made baingan bharta in this way and also by adding spices like turmeric powder, dhania
powder (coriander powder) etc. One thing, I have observed is that the smoky aroma and avor
of the baingan comes out very distinctly in this simple recipe.
In this baingan bharta recipe,There is also another method to make it the dhungar method of infusing the smoky aroma of burnt charcoal. However, this method is optional and you can easily skip it.
Few tips for baingan bharta recipe:
1. If the baingan is not cooked properly after you check its doneness with a knife. Then
continue to roast it for some more minutes.
2. While buying the baingan for bhartha, go for the ones which are light. A heavy brinjal
indicates that there are ripe seeds in it and this may spoil the taste of the bhartha.
- While selecting brinjal from the market make sure that it soft. Press it down with your hand while selecting. If it is been pressed down easily. Eggplant is soft enough and is also dark in color.The stalk color should be nice green in color. It should be fresh.
- Coating the brinjal with some oil prior roasting it, helps in roasting it nicely and it gets easy to remove the skin from it.
- We have used mustard oil here in this recipe as it enhances the taste. You can also use any other cooking oil.
- If you prefer eating spicier then you can adjust the quantity of red chili powder.
- We have used finely chopped ginger here as they taste good while consuming the sabzi.But if you don’t like it finely chopped then grind the whole ginger along with tomatoes.
- Here is an easy recipe to make this amazing side dish. Serve this delicious and lip-smacking baingan bharta steaming hot along with chapatti, parantha, naan or rice. Enjoy!
