The Aubergine beauties in my fridge needed some makeover. They were treated to some spicy tweaking and the result was a winner !! The usual Bartha was given a face-lift; other than fresh peas, coconut milk was added to further enhance the taste. Not only did it go well with phulkas, it also tasted divine with rice .
The curry teased us with her smoky tang and we went for repeated servings !!
What goes:-
- Eggplants -2 (medium sized)
- Onions – 2 or 3
- Tomatoes – 2 (large)
- Fresh Peas – 1 cup
- Ginger-Garlic Paste – 1 tbsp
- Garam Masala – 1 tbsp – to taste
- Red Chilli Powder – 1 tsp – to taste
- Turmeric Powder – 1 tsp
- Salt – to taste
- Cream of Coconut Milk – 1/2 cup
- Maggi Curry Taste Maker – 1 tbsp
- Butter – 1 tbsp
How:-
Wash & grease the eggplants with oil and roast it on a gas burner over medium heat.
Turn it frequently until fully roasted. Put the smoky charred brinjal in cold water to cool and peel the skin.
Mash the flesh and set aside.
In a kadai add butter and as it heats add green chilli and onion and stir fry till golden brown. Add ginger -garlic paste and saute for some time.
Add chopped tomatoes and let it cook for a while. Now add red chilli powder, turmeric powder, garam masala and salt and let it cook till the flavours blend !.
Add green peas and cook till it becomes tender. Now add the mashed brinjal flesh and mix well. Let it cook over medium heat for some time.
Now add the coconut milk and the curry taste maker. Cook for some more time.
Garnish with the Greens. Serve Hot–

Totally drooling! Adding coconut milk/ cream will surely take it to a higher level:))
A very nice twist to baingan bharta…. Loved the idea of adding peas to it.. Hey thanks for appreciating the cake on my blog… U r the first person to do that… I didnt got any good reviews from my siblings only coz it didnt looked similar to dt on the show…. :-( However ur comments made my day.. Thanx..
I like baingan ka bhartha very much but I did not prepare this way. I used to cook baingans seperately and then prepare, also I used to put tomatoes later after adding the masalas.
This recipe with the peas looks interesting.
I will try it this way.
Just for a clarification… what is curry taste maker.. I never tried it?
@ Abhilash– just the masala/spice packet From Maggi Noodles, it adds good taste to the curries/gravies
Thank you the pictures are great step by step tutorial, not to mention mouth watering!
