Hi,
This is exactly how my mom makes it. From the baking to the cooking, everything is the same except instead of roughly chopping the baked eggplant, she chops/purees it in a food prosessor so it’s less chunky. After it’s cooked, my mom garnishes with garam masala powder, cilantro and drizzles little bit of oil on top.
Thanks Minal, this dish is indeed very delicious and many times people who doesn’t like eggplant won’t even know they’re eating it and enjoy it.

It is recommended to hand wash hard anodized cookware, but we have put our’s into a dishwasher and nothing bad has happened.

It is really delicious. I couldn’t get green chillies so I added a very small amount of red chilli powder and the result is very good. Really a great recipe!

I just made this again. Second time was the charm! Much better. What was different? Well, this time I cooked the eggplant in the oven, not on the grill.
Thanks,
Steve

Nice recipe..
you can cook the eggplant in microwave also. Wash the eggplant, drizzle a drop or two of oil. poke in 2-3 palces in the eggplant with the knife.This will help cook eggplant faster and also the steam of the juice in eggplant can come out easily. Then keep it in a microwave safe bowl. and cook on 100% power for 3-4 minutes. once done, turn the eggplant and cook the other side repeating the same procedure. Depending upon the size of your eggplant, it should be cooked completely in 10 minutes !! now if you want that roasted aroma, hold the microwave cooked eggplant in roti making chimta and roast it on direct flame for 2-3 minutes. I personally love the flavour that is there in the skin of the eggplant. so i neither roast it on flame or peel the skin. and then you can always make roasted eggplant subzi aur bharta according to your taste
