My Heart Beets

This is my favorite way to eat eggplant. I know mashed eggplant may not sound very appealing, but trust me this dish tastes way better than it sounds. Baingan bharta is typically made by first cooking eggplants on a stove or a grill to give it a smoky flavor, but I’ve simplified the recipe to make it all in one pot and I find that it tastes about the same. And truthfully, the ease of making this dish means that I make and enjoy it a lot more often.
