Baingan Bharta/Punjabi Baingan Bharta

Baingan Bharta is a simple and delectable Punjabi recipe. Though the recipe is very easy and simple the taste is extraordinary and complex because of the smoky and charred flavour of the Baingan/Eggplant. The word bharta or bhurtha means chopped or minced vegetables made from egg plant with is grilled over charcoal or direct fire to infuse the dish with a  smoky flavour. In South India especially in Tamil Nadu we make Kathrikkai Chutney/Baingan Chutney/Egg plant chutney which is also smoked and made with less ingredients but also is fantabulous.
