The Story Behind the Dish
Roasting vegetables directly in the embers of a fire is one of the oldest cooking methods, and eggplant takes on a wonderful smokiness when cooked this way. 'Bharta' means mashed.
Punjab's version is cooked with onions and tomatoes; Bihar's baingan chokha is mixed raw with mustard oil and garlic; Bengal's begun pora is similar.

💡 Fun Fact
Eggplant is native to the Indian subcontinent and has been cultivated there for thousands of years.
