Baingan Bharta
Recipe
Baigan Bharta is a very popular north Indian curry. Bharta means mashed. It can be served at lunch with hot chapattis and daal. There are many ways to make baigan ka bharta but this version of baigan ka bharta is really easy to make. Baigan bharta is my husband's favourite. When I cook baigan bharta at that day he eats more chappatis.
We simply love this recipe in its
simplicity and taste. I have learned this recipe from my mother-in-law who
cooks excellent food.
