    Baingan Ka Bharta

    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).
