Baigan ka bharta Punjabi style.

Hi Friends,

Baigan ka bhurta is one dish which is savored by every North Indian with parathas as well as  with regular meals. Here is the recipe..

BAIGAN KA BHARTA:

INGREDIENTS:

Baigan (Brinjal or Egg plant)- Big round ones

Pyaz(Onion)

Tamatar (Tomato)

Hari matar (Green peas)

Hari Mirch (Green chilies)

Hara Dhania (Coriander leaves)

Haldi (Turmeric) powder

Lal mirch (Red chili) powder

Salt

Oil

METHOD:

Roast the baigan-peel and mash.

Finely chop onion, tomatoes and hara dhania.

In hot oil add chopped onions in good quantity..fry till they get transparent and pink. Add chopped tomatoes, haldi powder, lal mirch powder and salt and fry till tomatoes get tender.Add hari matar and cook further till peas get cooked. Now add mashed baigan and chopped (big pieces) green chilies and fry for about 5 minutes till everything is mixed properly and extra water is evaporated.

Add chopped hara dhania and serve hot.

TRICK: Adding chopped green chilies at last stage is for the color and flavor of green chilies. In case you don't like too hot, you can use Jalapenos instead of normal green chilies.

I often use Jalapenos to get the flavour of green chilies without adding up to hotness of the dish.
