Recipe Introduction


From Petrina Verma Sarkar,

There are two different versions of Baingan Bharta. One is made with
cooked and the other with raw ingredients! This dish has a distinctive
flavour thanks to the mustard oil and raw ingredients in it -
everything except the eggplant (which is roasted) is used raw.

Baingan Bharta is a healthy food - eggplant that is the main
ingredient, is low in fat and sodium and high in dietary fiber,
vitamins C and B6 magnesium, phosphorus and potasium. Add to that the
tomatoes, green chillies and onion and you've packed a mighty
nutritional punch in one single dish!



List of Ingredients




INGREDIENTS:

* 1 large eggplant
* 1 large onion chopped very fine
* 1 large tomato chopped very fine
* 2 green chillies chopped very fine (optional)
* 7-8 cloves of garlic chopped very fine
* 1/4 cup chopped coriander
* 2 tbsps mustard oil
* Salt to taste
* 1/2 lime


Recipe



* Roast the eggplant on an open fire (medium flame), till all the
skin is burnt and the eggplant looks soft.
* Peel off the burnt skin and remove the top/stem of the eggplant.
* Mash the eggplant roughly, in a mixing bowl.
* Add the mustard oil, onion, tomato, green chillies, garlic,
coriander leaves and salt to taste. Mix well.
* Add a squeeze of lime juice and mix well.
* Serve as a side dish in combination with foods like plain boiled
rice and Lehsuni Daal (garlic-flavored lentils), or plain boiled rice
and Rajma (red kidney bean curry).
