Baingan Bhartha

A smoky, flavor-packed North Indian delicacy made with roasted and mashed eggplants (brinjals), cooked with a medley of tomatoes, onions, and aromatic whole spices. The rich, smoky aroma of the roasted brinjal is perfectly complemented by the tangy tomatoes and the deep flavors of cumin, coriander, and other traditional seasonings. This wholesome dish is a delight for the senses and is as nutritious as it is flavorful, being low in calories yet rich in fiber and essential vitamins.

Variation:
For added texture and nutrition, diced roasted potatoes or cooked green peas can be folded into the prepared baingan bhartha. You can also top it with a dollop of ghee or cream for a richer taste.

Serving Suggestion:
This versatile dish pairs beautifully with freshly made flatbread, naan, or parantha. It also complements steamed basmati rice for a comforting, wholesome meal.
