Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb baingan bharta
  • 1 tbsp yellow onion
  • 2 tsp garlic-ginger paste
  • 1 medium ground cumin
  • 1 lb turmeric
  • a pinch garam masala
  • 4 oz fresh cilantro
  • to taste flaky salt
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the baingan bharta dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the baingan bharta, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
