Baingan Bhartha


The smoky aroma of this dish is the best part which makes it different from the others. Goes very well with rotis.
Ingredients
  1. 1 Brinjal
  2. 1 finely chopped Onion
  3. 1\2 cup finely chopped tomatoes
  4. 2 green chillies (slit)
  5. 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  6. 1\2 cup finely chopped coriander leaves
  7. 1 teaspoon cumin(jeera) seeds
  8. 1\2 teaspoon turmeric(haldi) powder
  9. 1\2 teaspoon garam masala
  10. 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  11. 2 teaspoon oil

We need 1 big brinjal, wash and slit it till the stalk. Grease it with a little oil and roast it on flame on all the sides. Onces the brinjal is almost cooked, remove the skin,chop it and keep it aside.

Heat the oil in a pan, add the cumin seeds to splutter. Then add the onion, ginger and green chillies. Fry till the onion is pink and then add the tomatoes, fry till they are soft. Add all the masala powder to this mixture till the oil seperates. Then add the brinjal and cook for 5 mintes till it picks up all the flavour. Granish with fresh coriander and server hot!!
