Baingan Ka Barta

Baingan ka barta is nothing but a side dish ,prepared using the flesh of roasted egg plant.I was curious abt this dish,when my fellow boggers used to post.That curiuosity ,changed to pride,when I prepared this today for rotis.This recipe requires ,bit large amt of onion and tomato.Adding crushed garlic ,enlightens the dish very well.On the whole, the curry was tangy,juicy, and delicous for rotis.
Give it a try,u will never leave it.
