Directions
Baingan Ka Bharta (Indian-Punjabi Style),a sort of eggplant curry. Recipe given by a wonderful Punjabi cook.,Excellent! Wouldn’t change a thing..! thanks for posting.,This is traditional Indian food! This is by far the best baingan ka bharta on zaar. used less tomato and onion because I didn’t want to make too much and wanted more eggplant flavor. The way you had me broil the eggplant….best way to make it! It made the eggplant taste really really good. I will definitely make this again. I LOVE this recipe!
