Baingan Bharta (Eggplant Subji)

Hey guys I want to share with you today one of my favorite subji i.e. Baingan Bharta. I know that some of the people just don't like baingan (eggplant) at all but I just love any combination with eggplant weather it is with potatoes, pigeon peas, green peas, fresh fenugreek leaves, etc. We use 2-3 types of eggplant in size and quality when we prepare Undhiyu at home. But today I am sharing you Baingan Bharta for which you need a very big size eggplant.

For making Baingan Bharta you will need:-

1 big eggplant

Water for cooking

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup green onion (optional)

1 cup tomatoes chopped

Salt to taste

1 teaspoon cumin powder

3 tablespoon oil

1 teaspoon red chilly powder ( adjust to your taste)

1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder

1/4 teaspoon coriander and cumin powder

Few strands of coriander leaves for garnishing

Pinch of garam masala.

Pressure cook the eggplant by making big pieces of out it and when it gets cool down take out the skin. Mash it properly. Take a pot and add oil to it and when it gets hot add cumin seeds to it. When it starts crackling add onion and allow it to roast properly. Then add tomatoes and green onion and cook it properly. Add all the spices and cook for a minute or so. Then add mashed eggplant to it mix well and allow it to cook for about 3-5 minutes and garnish with coriander leaves. You can also add  green chillies if you want extra hot. I like it little spicy so I always add little bit of green chillies.

It goes very well with bajri rotla, wheat bhakri, wheat poori and paratha.
