Baingan bharta

Local Food Specialities

Description: Baingan bharta (mashed eggplant) is a dish from the Indian subcontinent, that originated in the Punjab region, bearing a resemblance to baba ghanoush and Mirza Ghassemi. Baingan bharta is a part of the national cuisines of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. It is a vegetarian dish that is prepared by mincing eggplant (baingan) that is grilled over charcoal or direct fire. This infuses the dish with a smoky flavour. The smoked and mashed eggplant is then mixed with cooked chopped tomato, browned onion, ginger, garlic, cumin, fresh cilantro (coriander leaves), chili pepper, and mustard oil or a neutral vegetable oil. Traditionally, the dish is often eaten with an Indian flatbread (specifically roti or paratha) and is also served with rice or raita, a yogurt salad. In states such as Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, it is served hot with a famous dish called as "Litti."
