This is a simple recipe made with baigan / eggplant or Aubergine seasoned with simple Indian spices but with a not so simple flavor.

The multi cultural presence of this dish has added various versions and avatars and flavors to the recipes. Spicy and not so spicy version and then a few places addition of boiled potatoes and other vegetables are common.

You make alter the ingredients a little as per preference,but make it just the way it is to enjoy the true flavors of Aubergine .This recipe uses 2-3 green chillies to taste, if you don not prefer very spicy then you may reduce the amount of green chilies or just avoid adding any as per your preference.

I have been a Baingan Bharta lover all my life. My mom says, as a baby i could just survive on  Baigun Bharta over any other vegetable. And neglecting the poor chapati/bread to relish a bigger spoonful of my love for this not so fancy veggie was rare to be seen. But i have to admit, i love the Bharta what my Mom makes.She just makes the best bharta in the world. With no magical ingredients, just simple spices and lots and lots of love ,she managed this BE-GUN (zero value) veggie to reach the top of my menu. That may not sound a challenge to you, but for my mom who had a girl with very snobbish take as far as the vegetables were concerned,she achieved a great deal.I am sure lots of you moms would relate to this.

Times are different now, even Baigun has a fancy name “Aubergine / Eggplant” which make it a bit desirable ,also with many international recipe to try. Believe me ,you can experiment with Aubergine,its a really versatile veggie. Pick your flavors and add them to your roasted and smoky eggplant, ad just see the magic.From a stir fried dish to a dip, this sure can be served in many avatars.

    What a great way to use eggplant. It took me a long time to actually experiment with it in recipes. Now we use it all the time. This sounds like a great place to use it.

    Growing up, I never really liked eggplant. But as my palate evolved, I am growing more and more fond of it. This looks so good!

    Almost time for eggplants to start rolling out of gardens and showing up at farmers’ markets here in Ohio – I can’t wait to try this recipe! My family adores Indian food, and I really want to learn to make easy, healthy versions for us to enjoy at home – definitely pinning this one to remember and to share! I love the description, “no magical ingredients, just simple spices and lots and lots of love” – what more could I ask for in a recipe, right?!?! Thanks for this terrific post!

    I like eggplant; I usually serve it prepared simply, like seasoned and prepped in an air fryer; but this looks interesting. Full of color and flavor! I would love to try this recipe.
