Rich & Spicy Masala Base: Perfectly cooked onion-tomato bhuna masala with traditional spices. Simple Everyday Comfort: Wholesome, rustic, and 100% comfort food for lunch or dinner. 📌 Simple Step-by-Step Method: Prep & Roast Eggplant: Make 3-4 deep vertical slits in a large aubergine (baingan) and insert peeled garlic cloves into the slits. Brush the skin lightly with oil and roast directly on an open gas flame, turning periodically until the skin turns completely charred and soft inside. Peel & Mash: Allow it to cool, peel off the charred skin, remove the stem, and mash the soft flesh along with the roasted garlic using a fork. Sauté Masala: Heat mustard oil in a pan until smoking. Add cumin seeds, finely chopped onions, and green chilies. Sauté until onions turn golden brown, then add ginger paste and chopped tomatoes. Season & Combine: Add turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until oil separates from the masala. Stir in the mashed roasted baingan, cook on low flame for 5 minutes, garnish with fresh coriander leaves, and serve hot! 🍆🔥 👇 Drop a comment below: Do you like your Baingan Bharta super smoky with extra garlic, or do you prefer it mild?
