Cooking instructions
* Step 1
To make Vaangyaacha Bharit, first wash the brinjals thoroughly and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
* Step 2
Make diagonal cuts on the brinjals on two opposite sides.
* Step 3
Rub about a teaspoon of oil on each brinjal, especially on the cuts. This helps good roasting of the brinjals.
* Step 4
Switch on the flame of the gas stove and place on it a greased grill. Place the oiled brinjals on it for roasting.
* Step 5
Keeping the flame high, roast the brinjals well on both sides turning them at regular intervals. This will ensure uniform roasting of the brinjals.
* Step 6
Once the skin of the brinjals starts to peel and the brinjals juices start oozing out of the cuts, switch off the flame and transfer the brinjals to a dish to cool down. This process might take about 20-25 minutes.
* Step 7
Once cooled, peel the brinjals and cut them horizontally. Discard any ripe seeds if any. If you do not like the roasted flavour much, then wash the peeled brinjals slightly with clean water.
* Step 8
Either chop the roasted flesh or smash with a fork.
* Step 9
In the meantime, heat a kadhai and add the oil for tempering to it. When it heats up, add the cumin seeds.
* Step 10
As soon as they splutter, add the asafoetida, chopped green chillies and curry leaves.
* Step 11
Now add the chopped onions and saute till translucent.
* Step 12
Add the ginger garlic paste and saute well. Cover and cook for a while.
* Step 13
Add the chopped tomatoes and saute. Cover and cook again till the tomatoes are mushy and the onions are completely soft and cooked.
* Step 14
Add the chopped roasted brinjal flesh and salt to taste and give it a good stir.
* Step 15
Cover and cook for a while for the flavours to assimilate well.
* Step 16
Switch off the flame and garnish with lots of chopped fresh coriander leaves.
* Step 17
Serve the earthy flavoured, delicious Vaangyaacha Bharit with soft bhaakari and some chopped onions and green chillies for added spiciness if desired.
