Baingan Bharta (Eggplant Curry) Recipe by Manjula

[ohsnapiam59]

I do not use a microwave. Will the oven do the same...soften the eggplant?

[MyDhaliwal]

bharta tastes more delicious if instead of steaming it in microwave, u just oil it a little bit means rub some oil on it and put it in oven and cook it. it tastes crispy.

[gparks4269]

thank you so much for making these videos! I am very excited to learn how to cook these great dishes!

[abhiiishek]

Thanks Manjula..!! God bless you...made some bharta today..YUMMMYYY..... all the good wishes from all the Indians Abroad who struggle to cook and miss good old mums cooking..!!

[ummeaaisha]

[bootz2boobz]

Hello Manjula,

I enjoy your videos! Is is possible for you to list in (written form) the ingredients @ the very beginning. Perhaps list on a word document and display so we can jot down the ingredients.

Thank You!

[swistedfilms]

Thanks for sharing! I love a good curry in general and really enjoy eggplant curry.

[CzarDodon]

Thank you very much for this delicious recipe

[mattld12]

i just made it, it was very good!

[nfroio1168]

Thank you Manjula, I have made Baingan Bharta before and it was okay, but, I now see why it was just okay. The layering in of the seasoning (especially the garam masala) makes all the difference.

You videos and website are wonderful, and so helpful. When I became a vegetarian/vegan, I worried about flavors and tastes, your site shows, in clear and easy steps, how to regain the flavor, while still enjoying a compassionate and healthy meal.

[dhodi123]

There are so much nutrients in the skin!

[ericcartmansh]

Thanks for the recipe. About to cook it. Hope it turns out as good as yours!

[glennSuperdude]

I made this last weekend and it was fabulous!

Thanks for a great recipe and video.

[MommaOcho]

I wish I had smell-ivision. This looks like I could try to make it. Thanks for sharing.

[MsGigmaster]

i think you could use ghi instead of vegetable oil in all the vegetable curries,it would taste even better,what do you think?

[nyls86]

is it neccessary to peel d skin??

[jessicaiyer]

no onion?

[bdeshi317]

hi, do you have to use asafetida for this recipe? will this still be good with out it?

[ahkerus1]

Hi,

Manjulaji,

I put the eggplant as instructed in the mw for 8 min, after about 5 min I heard this big explosion and saw that eggplant had exploded all over inside the microwave, leaving a big mess so it would be advisable like TooLooseLeTrek suggested to pierce the eggplant before cooking it in mw. Other than this mess, the Bharta came out pretty good, I enjoy all your dishes. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

[2hamboigahs]

the first spices you add to the oil are cumin seeds and ? what is esepatita?

[majorgeneraldespair]

@2hamboigahs asafoetida, a spice

[espilehiyo]

I am a Filipino and I love Bharta. I just finished cooking it =}

[nursesandas]

hi aunty, i remember one of my neighbour, she used to put fine chopped onions and garlic too.... does it make big difference?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@nursesandas

Personal choice

[SuperShreeji]

[TheDino2714]

recipe was good but its look a like baingan curry not a bharta

[MamaQuita0109]

I don't own a microwave. So I washed the eggplant and coated it with a little olive oil and broiled it for 20 min...Oh this was sooo good. I cook this every month!

[anjalirmanohar]

Thank u aunty, I made it yesterday & it came out good, I added some onion too.

[lush4makeup]

Hi Aunty, I made your Baingan Bharta and it came out amazing! Even my mother and father-in-law who are Indian loved it!! Thanks for making these videos!

[omarrydksa]

[MamaQuita0109]

Mrs. Manjula, is this good without tomatoes?

[Manjulaskitchen]

I have never tried

[MamaQuita0109]

Someone told me that there is a baby eggplant recipe without tomato and I was just wondering. thanks you for posting this delicious recipe.

[MamaQuita0109]

This wasn't good without tomato...lol

[winane]

This is one of my all time favorites. Thank again! I absolutely love your recipes!

[MamaQuita0109]

I made this, but I added one extra ingredient- garlic. I couldn't help myself. I love garlic, but I will try it again without the garlic.

Would mustard seeds or black cardamom also taste good in this recipe?

Thank you for posting!

[soleus17]

I can't to try the recipe. Thanks Manjula, I love your kitchen!

[ginadoro]

[LengHerMawii]

thankzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[TooLooseLeTrek]

Question: should I pierce the eggplant skin before I cook it in the microwave? I'm thinking of what a mess it would be if it blew up during cooking.

Thanks.

[Manjulaskitchen]

No you dont need to do that

[rybpo7]

Thank you, Auntie! This is one of my favorite dishes, so I am very happy to finally learn how to make it! One question though: I don't like to use microwave. What would you do instead? Must you bake it in the oven?

[Manjulaskitchen]

you can bake it oven at 400degrre F for about 40 minutes and every 15 minutes change the side.

[rybpo7]

Okay. Thanks!

[bambizzoozled]

I love this kind of bharta. I can't wait to try your recipe. I have never seen a microwave used to cook an eggplant.

[beautybybrooke]

Manjula, I always enjoy watching your videos, I learn so much. As a vegetarian, it is often to hard to find tasty and healthy recipes, yours are fantastic. I have learned so much and even made a butter tofu recipe with roti. Keep up the great work!
