01 Step Roasting the Eggplant Wash the eggplants under running water, pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. This prevents slipping while handling.

02 Step Roasting the Eggplant Using a clean brush, coat each eggplant evenly with 2‑3 tbsp mustard oil – this helps the skin char evenly and adds flavour.

03 Step Roasting the Eggplant Place the oiled eggplants directly over an open flame (gas stove) or under a broiler. Turn every 2‑3 minutes until the skin is completely blackened and the flesh is soft (about 10‑12 minutes).

04 Step Roasting the Eggplant Using tongs, carefully transfer the hot eggplants to a bowl and cover with a clean kitchen cloth for 5 minutes – the steam will loosen the skin, making it easy to peel (safety: use heat‑resistant glov...

05 Step Roasting the Eggplant Once cooled enough to handle, peel off the charred skin, discard, and coarsely chop the softened flesh. Set aside 2‑3 tbsp for the raita and the rest for the bharta.

06 Step Preparing the Baingan Bharta Heat 1 tbsp mustard oil and 2 tbsp neutral oil in a heavy‑bottomed pan over medium flame. The blend gives a balanced flavour and prevents the spices from burning.

07 Step Preparing the Baingan Bharta Add 1 tsp cumin seeds; listen for the sizzling pop – this releases their aroma (watch for splatter, keep a lid nearby).

08 Step Preparing the Baingan Bharta Stir in the finely chopped onions. Sauté until they turn golden brown, about 5‑6 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking.
