Baingan Bharta
Smoke you cannot fake
The whole dish is one flavour: smoke. There is no shortcut, no liquid smoke, no oven that will do it. It is the open flame or it is a different dish.

- १PrepChar the baingan whole on an open flame until the skin blisters black the whole way round.
- २MashPeel it while it is still hot and mash it rough. Bharta is not a puree.
- ३BhunoOnion and tomato browned hard, then dhaniya and lal mirch straight into the oil.
- ४StirThe mashed baingan in. Cook until it stops giving off water. Garam masala at the end.
