Baigan Bharta / Ringan Nu Bhartu / Audo / Vangi Cha Bharit / Roasted Eggplant Stir Fry

Baigan Bharta / Ringan Nu Bhartu / Audo / Vangi Cha Bharit / Roasted Eggplant Stir Fry is a popular traditional dish in Indian cuisine that has roasted or grilled eggplant as its main ingredient of the dish. The roasted eggplant is minced and is mixed in a stir fry mixture cooked with onions, tomato, ginger garlic paste, spring onion, fresh coriander, fresh garlic , spices and oil. The dish is served with roti, paratha or roti made with sorghum (jowar), finger millet (ragi), pearl millet (bajri), rice flour, or maize (makai) flour.

Traditionally, the eggplant is roasted on open flame. It was known as “chula”. The eggplant roasted on open flame imparts smoky flavor to the dish. You can roast the eggplant on gas top or in an oven.

Baigan Bharta is popular dish in India and different state has its own version and name. It is known as baigan ka bharta in North India, Audo or ringan nu bhartu in Gujarat, vangi cha bharit in Maharashtra, Baigan ka Choka in Bihar. In Bihar the baigan ka choka is served with litti.

I had served the baigan bharta with dhana lahsan jowar rotla (coriander garlic sorghum flatbread), simple moong dal, salad and gur (Jaggery) to make it a complete meal.
