Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hi - about the Eggplant Bharta you mentioned - I shall duplicate the message below, gladly. It is more a description of a dish, rather than a recipe - which is why you may not remember it. It gives information and some ingredients, but no actual recipe. Sounds delicious, however! Have a re-look below. Best, Pat (Group Owner) -------- Hi! Am new to the group and trying to take it all in. Interesting group and am glad I found you all. Bharta is almost always made with roasted eggplant. In India, it is roasted on an open fire, pierced with a skewer to let the steam out. I've done it successfully under a hot grill in a conventional oven. Once done, it is skinned and mashed. I know 2 ways of making a bharta. One is more of a salad or a side dish. It contains raw finely chopped onions and tomatoes, green chillies, fresh coriander, topped with a tempering of oil, mustard seeds, asafoetida and turmeric. This is sometimes mixed with a little yoghurt, especially in the summer. The other version is the curried version, cooked with onions, tomatoes, and peas. Happy Cooking!
