Instant Brinjal Bharta ( Instant Baigan Bharta ) Without Onion And Garlic

Hello Friends,
Namaskar....

I am Sangeeta Agrawal and heartily welcome you at my blog.

# Brinjal is a very delicious, healthy and simple vegetable which is made as the daily routine curry at our homes.
Sometimes it is prepared as.. Aloo baigan, baigan masala and sometimes in the form of bharta...Means mashed baigan with some spices and ginger, green chili and tomato.

#  "Baigan bharta"is liked by every one but people avoid it.. because it is time taking and feel it a little difficult...Due to its roasting on the flame or oven.

#   But  I make it in a very simple way as my mother used to make it...
Its taste and texture is not less than roasted baigan bharta.

# Prep Time....10 minutes
# Cook Time....15 minutes
# Serving.... 4

#  Method Of Making...

1. Firstly, wash and cut the brinjals into 4 parts and dip in the water.

2. On the flame and pressure cook the brinjals with half glass of water and 2 pinch of salt till 1 whistle only.

3. Let it down the pressure and immediately drain the hot water of brinjals in a strainer.

4. Let it cool down completely on the strainer for getting it without any moisture.

5. Mean while..Make a paste of tomato, green chili and 1 inch ginger in the mixer jar.

6. Now remove the skin of brinjals with your hands.
It is easily done because we have added a little salt in the pressure cooker.

7. Mash the pulp of boiled brinjals by your hands and keep aside.

8. Add the oil in a kadai on the medium flame.
As the oil heats up....Just add cumin seeds and asafoetida to crackle.

9. Add all other spices as... Turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder and amchur..Saute it for 30 seconds only.

10 Just add tomato paste and saute and cook it well till the oil separates from the gravy for 5 minutes.

11. Now add mashed brinjal in the kadai and mix it well.

12. Fry it continuously by pressing with your spatula...for 7 minutes.
This pressing and mixing of brinjal with spices.. enhances the taste of baigan bharta.

13. As it is mixed well and looks shiny...
Just add.. chopped coriander, chopped green chili, chopped ginger and garam masala and few drops of lemon juice in it and saute well for 3 minutes.

Off the flame and take out in a bowl.

In this way...Instant and delicious Baigan Bharta is ready within minutes.

# Note....

1. Don't overcook it.
Just take 1 whistle and drain out the hot water.

2. Mash the brinjal before adding in the tomato paste.
And roast it well with tomato paste till a nice shiny texture.

3. The nice taste of baigan bharta depends upon....Chopped coriander, ginger and green chili...So mix it.. in the baigan bharta curry as your taste.
