DAHIWALA BAINGAN BHARTA/ SMOKED AUBERGINES WITH YOGURT

Brinjal or Baingan or Eggplant is not everyone's favorite. But me and my husband like it in any dorm like bharta, bhrawa baingan, sliced baingan masala, etc. This is very simple, tasty, slightly spicy bharta recipe slightly different recipe than our regular one. This can be made as a accompaniment to plain white rice or chapattis. The curd in the dish helps the brinjal absorb the spices, while also lending a tangy flavor to the dish. Brinjal is very nutritious vegetable, high on magnesium and vitamins. Today's recipe is very healthy and best suited recipe for the Baingan lovers for this summer season.
