I love winters for its varied flavours.Baingan ka bharta is one such recipe .It it a preparation which requires minimum ingredients.Apart from the brinjal or the ingredients I love this preparation for the smoky flavour of the roasted brinjal.
For this preapration the big purple brinjals are essential ,for best results.These brinjals come best in peak winters.the soft pulpy inside of these brinjals taste heavenly once roasted on an open flame.
