Aalu Baingan Bharta

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 is a part of the national cuisines of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Wikipedia

Baingan bharta no its aalu baingan bharta. I didn’t roast the baingan or brinjal/aubergine because my son don’t like the smoking flavour. He and all my family members love this.

And its very easy to make. Boil mash and fry with spices and your delicious bharta is ready.

I garnished the bharta with boiled peas. Got the idea from my friend Reem Khan. Thanks dear.

    Cannot ever get bored of eating this sabzi. I spread it on toasted bread or sandwich it with some green chutney too sometimes. Always end up making extra for the leftovers the next day that tastes so good. Great share.

    Sounds interesting. Combining all in baingan ka bharta is a lovely idea for a change. I must try this. Looks so tasty.

    Wow this is a nice recipe of making baingan bhartha with aloo and that too without the smoky flavor. I am sure this will be a perfect hit with hot rotis and some chilled buttermilk

    A different kind of bharta Sujata. Also like how you have decorated aalu baingan bharta with the peas. Will have to try this recipe as I usually make it with eggplant alone.

    I love potatoes and love eggplants. Never thought of making a bharta combining these two. Have to try this soon!

    This looks so creative and decorative, Like your idea of adding potatoes to the baigan bhartha. Cooking it in the pressure cooker is also a great tip.

    Hey Sujata this baigan bharta made by pressure cooking the eggplant and the potatoes is a wonderful idea. Next time I make bharta will try it and also add the peas.

    Baingan ka bhartha is my hudands favorite, so Aloo baingan ka bartha will be a super hit in no time. I love how beautiful this dish looks with a string of peas on it.

    Aloo Baingan Bharta is quite new to me. Never made with potato in it. Since it is a quick dish, I must try it some time. Looks delicious Sujata.
