Baingan Bharta Recipe, How to make Baingan Bharta

Baingan Bharta Recipe is a delicious side dish made with brinjal / eggplant. For me, biryani is just not complete without it.

You will find the baingan bharta being served at all marriages as a side dish along with the biryani. I have become so used to it, that I feel unsatisfied without it.

Though I do not make it so often as my family does not relish it so much, still I do not miss a chance to make it.

It is made with brinjal which is roasted over flame. Then mashed and spiced up. It would be best if you go outdoors for grilling. Whenever we go out for grill, I always take some brinjals with me and roast them in the coal. The taste is simply amazing when you do it that way.

But that is always not feasible, so you can just roast them over flame. The soft, mushy and the smoked brinjals will make the baingan bharta recipe made with most basic spices exotic.

You can even try the baingan bharta recipe as a side dish with roti or chapathi. Or like me serve it with either Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani or the Indian Mutton Biryani Recipe

So let’s get started with the Baingan Bharta Recipe
