Many people hate eggplant or brinjal { I hated it as a child} but now I say if you hate eggplant/brinjal you probably don’t know how to cook it right. Once you know the spice profile that works best with eggplant, you can transform this humble veggie into a delightful dish. Enough with my veggie love, let’s talk about how to make this delicious Hyderabadi bagara baingan recipe. The best thing about cooking with eggplants is the flesh absorbs flavors like a sponge and becomes like a beautiful canvas which you can paint with various flavor profiles. Another big plus of this curry is this is loved by vegetarians, non-vegetarians, and even works so beautifully if you are a vegan. There is a long list of spices required for cooking this rich curry, but I will say don’t let it intimidate you from trying this wonderful recipe. The gravy is the most important part, so if you get that right and spice here and there does not matter too much, still I recommend to follow the exact recipe and ratio of spices used. Baghare baingan is kind of curry that satisfies the cravings of spicy rich curry in a delicious way, you just can’t beat the texture that falls somewhere in the range of silky creaminess and fiery flavor with the tang of tamarind juice, and sweetness of coconut milk. Drooling yet ? 😀 . Let’s get cooking…
