ABOUT Smoked and Mildly Spiced Eggplant RECIPE

Baingan Ka Bharta is a very famous North Indian recipe. Though, it is also prepared in other parts of India as well, slightly tweaked to match the taste of that region . The twist I have made is I have used smoked eggplant, smoked tomatoes and smoked potatoes, mashed all of them together and then tempered separately with mustard oil. I have added some Arab flavour by adding zaatar powder inspired from Moutabel, (recipe found here) and at the end, squeezed some lemon.
