Baingan Bharta is a rich, smoky North Indian dish made by mashing fire-roasted eggplant and cooking it with onions, tomatoes, garlic, green chillies, and spices. This rustic and hearty dish is traditionally enjoyed with hot roti or paratha and is a comforting staple of Punjabi cuisine. The eggplants are roasted on an open flame or hot charcoal to give a distinct smoky flavor. I share a simple, delicious family heirloom recipe that’s not overloaded with spices, allowing the smoky eggplant and tangy tomatoes to shine.

The filling often consists of spiced mashed potatoes or a crumbled cottage cheese (paneer) and vegetable mixture.
