Baingan Barta

Ingredients:

1) One fat brinjal (one of those huge ones, not the normal one)
2) Two onions
3) Two tomatoes
4) Chilli powder and salt
5) A few spoons of oil

Method:

1) Rub the brinjal with a spoon of oil and then place it directly on the flame. Ensure that the skin of the brinjal gets burnt properly everywhere.
2) Take some oil in a pan, cut the onions and add and heat.
3) After the onions reach a golden-ish colour, add cut tomatoes, some chilli powder and salt to the onions and continue to stir.
4) Simultaneously, strip the brinjal of its burnt skin. Check for worms (thankfully there were none) and mash the brinjal.
5) Add the mashed brinjal to the onion-tomato mixture in the pan. Stir for some time.

Your baingan barta is ready. Surprisingly simple to make. And pretty good to eat too (if you like brinjal).

btw, if u just put this mix into a blender and make a paste, along with some roasted thuvaram paruppu and ulutham paruppu and perungayam, thats called thogayal. instead, if u blend it with odacha kadalai, then its called chutney...

cha, cooking is so simple...
