ABOUT Begun Bharta RECIPE

This preparation of begun bharta as we call it in Bengali or roasted aubergine is a very treasured recipe at home. Baingan bharta or Baingan ka bhurtha or Baingan da bhurtha or Wangyacha Bharit is a South Asian dish bearing a resemblance to baba ghanoush. Baingan bharta in India is usually made with just roasting the aubergine and mixing it with raw onions and green chillies. This recipe is a little more exotic and a far more tasty version.
