Trivia Tadka

Vangyache bharit is another delicious dish from Maharashtra which is known to get its smoky aroma from fire-roasted brinjal. In the old days, brinjal used to be roasted on charcoal fire to get that exact flavour. How old ways come handy, even today!

Ingredients

  • Round brinjal (baingan), large (1)
  • Tomato, finely chopped (1)
  • Onion, finely chopped (1)
  • Garlic cloves (lassan) (2 to 3)
  • Green chillies, crushed into paste (2)
  • Oil (1 tbsp)
  • Coriander leaves (hara dhania), chopped (1 tbsp)

Method

  • Roast baingan over the flame till it is charred from outside.
  • Keep rotating it on the flame so that it gets cooked evenly from all sides.
  • Remove it from the flame and immerse the roasted baingan in a bowl or pan of water. Let it cool. Then, peel off the charred skin and discard it.
  • With a fork or masher, mash the roasted baingan.
  • Heat oil in a kadhai and add the onion. Sauté till it turns translucent.
  • Add the crushed garlic and green chillies and sauté till it no more smells.\
  • Add tomatoes and sauté till they are soft and pulpy and the oil starts to leave the side of the mixture.
  • It’s now time to add the mashed baingan. Stir in salt and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes on a low flame.
  • Add chopped coriander leaves and stir well.
  • Serve it hot with rotis, bajra, or jowar bhakri.
