Instructions
  1. Set the oven rack so that the eggplants are as close as possible to the heat source. Use a fork to poke holes through the eggplants.
  2. Preheat the broiler on high. Line a pan with an aluminum sheet for easy cleanup. Roast the eggplants completely from all sides for about 30 minutes. The skin will blacken and the eggplant may burst a little.
  3. Once the eggplants cool down, peel the blackened skin, remove the stem and coarsely mash its flesh.
  4. Now heat ghee in a pan and add cumin seeds. They will start to sputter. Immediately add onion and saute for 5-8 minutes until golden and then add garlic and ginger paste and continue to saute for about 20 minutes until the raw smell goes off.
  5. Now add tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes until they become soft and the oil starts leaving the sides, add some water and spices.
  6. Add green chili pepper to mashed eggplant and cook. Stir it well for about 10 minutes until it’s cooked.
  7. Now turn off the heat and add chopped cilantro leaves, lime juice and garam masala over it.
  8. Delicious baingan bharta or roasted eggplant is ready! Serve it hot with roti or naan.
