Baingan bharta I think is one of the tastiest dish that can be made from Baingan(eggplant/Brinjal).
I love its unique smoky flavor that comes when you grill/roast it and then it is peeled and mashed and mixed in onion tomato masala… oh heaven :).
It tastes best if roasted on open flame on a gas stove but if you don’t have one you can always broil it in the oven.
