Baingan (Mashed Eggplant) Bharta- is a very famous recipe of Panjab, India. There are two variations of making Bharta. One is the traditional way and second is the modern way. I have prepared like Modern way here. In the traditional way people used to roast brinjal first on charcoal or directly on the flame. After that they remove the burnt skin and mashed it. In modern way people usually boil the brinjal with potato and they are mashed with a potato masher. Apart from potato, onion and tomato puree can be added to make eggplant. Spices can be added are; turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, garlic- ginger paste, green chili and salt. In Panjab people love to add extra ghee or butter pour on it. Generally this Bharta can be served with Naan ( Indian flattens bread) or chapatti and buttermilk. Traditionally people enjoy this Bharta with chopped raw onion and fry green chili in India.
