Baingan Ka bharta

“Baingan ka Bharta is a beloved vegetarian Ghar ka Khaana dish from the Punjabi and North Indian cuisine. Though often mistaken as a deep-fried dish, traditional baingan bharta is actually made by roasting large eggplants over an open flame until smoky and tender. The roasted pulp is then mashed and cooked with onions, tomatoes, herbs, and spices to create a rich, flavorful, and rustic sabzi with a signature smoky aroma. This comforting dish pairs wonderfully with roti, paratha, or steamed rice and is a staple in many Indian households.
