Baingan Bartha

The smoky flavour of the brinjal is the highlight in the baingan bartha. And I just love that. But sometimes our neighbours will think tht we have burnt some food. If they ask you, you can say that you are making the tasty baingan bartha and share some with them as well....



Ingredients:

Big Brinjal - 1 no.
Onion (Finely chopped) - 1/2 Cup
Tomato (Finely chopped) - 1/2 Cup
Ginger garlic paste - 1/2 tsp (Optional)
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
Green chilli (Slit)- 2 nos.
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Corriander leaves  - 1 tbsp
Oil - 2 tbsp
 
 
How to make:
 
1. Roast the brinjal on direct fire for 8-10 mins. Keep turning the brinjal so that its cooked well. The water will start oozing out once its well cooked.

2. Once it cools down, remove the burned skin and take the pulp and keep aside.

3. Heat oil in a pan, add chopped onion and saute till it turns transparent. Now add the ginger garlic paste, green chilli and curry leaves, saute for 2 mins.

4. Now add the tomato, saute for 2 mins and add salt, chilli powder and mix well. Saute for 2 mins. Add the brinjal pulp and blend well. This will take about 5-8 mins. Garnish with corriander leaves.
