Baingan Bharta

The weather is getting colder and colder here ... winter is definitely oh so close here in
Wellington, NZ and I am definitely wanting to include more Indian type dishes in the menu planning. There is something about the spice and the warmth that comes out in Indian recipes that is perfect for winter! Baingan Bharta is an Indian dish where the eggplant (baingan) is roasted over fire just to get that smoky taste and flavor
This dish has a resemblance to a middle eastern dip (that i looooveeeeee) called Baba Ghanoush
Eggplant is a favorite veggie at home and I have been wanting to make an indian dish with it for a while now, so when I was menu planning I included it as part of one of our dinner meals this week
This dish is a great side dish, or you just eat it along with naan or rotis and it will be a very satisfying meal
