I and my hubby both love Eggplant a lot.So i usually prepare this veggie atleast once a week in differnt ways.One amongst the best recipe is baingan bartha.I just love the fleshy eggplant with the richness of potatoes and the spicy chilly with varoius other spices blended together in this dish.This goes well with various dosa,chapathi,parata or even simple rice too.

-----------
Egg plant- 1 large
Potato- 2 medium sized
Tomato- 1 large
Chillies-3 large

Kitchen king masala-1 tsp
garam masala-1/2 tsp
Chilly powder- 1 tsp
Turmeric powder- 1/2 tsp
Ginger garlic paste-1 tsp
Onion- 1large

Coriander leaves for garnishing
Method:-
---------
1.Smear oil to the eggplant and make small slits all over the egg plant and then roast it in a grill over the burner or electric coil.
2.Cook the eggplant till they turn soft and look burnt all over by turning allover to get uniform cooking. remove the burnt skin and mash the pulp and keep aside.Roughly mash the poataoes after removing the skin and keep ready.
3.Cook 2 medium sized potato and keep aside.Chop up a big onion and keep aside.
4.Now take a heavy bottomed pan ,add oil and cumin seeds and wait till it just splutters,then add onions and saute till it turns slightly brown,then add ginger garlic paste and fry till the raw smell goes off.Then add tomato and saute for 3-4 mins
5.Add the eggplant pulp to the onions add enough water,and stir it.Then add all the seasoning one by one and constantly stir it.

7.Then remove it from fire garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with rice or roties.

Hi Harekrishnaji,
Akki roti is made out of rice thats all.Either made out of rice powder or but grinding soaked rice .Yup Not all add tomato and potato.My husband says they add in north and he wanted to eat it that way.So here it is and it tastes more better i feel.I have tried both the ways.

Hi,
I love your blog. I am opening up a cooking blog too and wondered if you would share how you added the scrolling screen on the right side with pictures.
Thank you,
Maha.
I tried it with the potato - very good!
When do the potatoes go in? Also should we not boil the potatoes and then mash them?
