Baigan ka Bharta / Baigan Chokhaa

Baigan Ka Bharta / Chokhaa

Mashed Brinjal or Baigan ko Bharta ( as we call in Bihar) / Chokha (as in UP) is  a common dish in regular course and is prepared in various ways. I with discuss here the Bihari / Eastern UP style especially prepared  to have it with Bati / Litti .

Ingredients:
Brinjal : Two round brinjals
Potato :  Three (boiled and peeled)
Tomato: Three red
Green Chillies: One
Coriander leaves : finely chopped for garnishing.
Garlic Cloves: 10 – 12 cloves.

Preparation:
Roast the Brinjal and tomato on direct flame till it is fully cooked on a gas stove. (it can also be cooked on the cow dung cake fire if prepared for baati). Remove the burnt cover of the roasted vegetables. Let it cool down a little. After that crush the brinjal, tomato and potatoes together into a fine mix. Add chopped chillies and garlic cloves and salt as per taste. Garnish it with chopped coriander leaves and Coriander chatni.
Serve at hot or at room temperature.
