Instructions

Wash and slit baigan to check for worms. Now either pressure cook or roast them after applying oil.
Today I used the short way i.e pressure cooked the brinjals. When cool, remove the skin and mash it.
Heat oil in a wok/kadhai. Give tadka of heeng and jeera.
Add finely chopped chillies and saute. Then add peas and chopped tomato. Stir and cook for 3 mins
Next add salt, haldi, red chilly, dhania powder. Mix well.
Add mashed potato and mashed brinjals. Mix well and cook for 3-4 mins.
Add garam masala powder and amchoor. (Or else lemon juice).
Cook on low flame till you get nice aroma of all masalas. Off the flame and garnish your ready bharta with fresh coriander.
Note - This recipe is not using any onion/garlic. If you want add these, add them just before adding peas/tomatoes!

I am a housewife passionate towards cooking variety vegeterian food. Since I love change in the food regularly, I keep experimenting and innovating the daily food with simple twists so that they look different and maintain the taste. Variation in look, taste and preperation is my mantra in day to day cooking.
