Baingan Aloo Bharta | Punjabi Baingan Bharta Recipe

Baingan Aloo Bharta is another bharta variety which is delicious and if you like bharta then this is of course no exception. I started to make aloo baigan bharta by chance when once I was trying to utilize some left over boiled potato and from then it's has become regular and favorite. Potato gives texture to bharta and also we don't really have to use tomato too with this combination.

Bharta taste good when it's done in simple way without much of masala and also important thing in bharta is to cook the onion well for bharta to taste delicious, incase of using onion-tomato base then both onion and tomato needs to be cook well and that's makes bharta yum in all way. I make bharta a lot as it's favorite for everyone at home.



Specialty of baingan bhart is it's goes well with roti, paratha and dal-chawal ie rice & lentil too very well. I like this baingan aloo bharta with both dal-rice and also with roti equally so what you want to pair this along is your choice.
