Baingan/vangi/brinjal
Bharit is the most famous side dish of Maharashtra which requires very less
time for the preparation. The Brinjal which are bigger in size are most
preferred for preparing Bharit, Brinjal is roasted on a stove top and hence we
get a nice smoky smell to it, this goes very well with bhakri (Jowar roti). I
remember my brother used to prepare this when i had shifted to Bangalore :) it’s
so easy that even bachelors can prepare ;). I usually get packets of dried
bajra rotis from my native as they can be used for long time. So whenever I am
lazy we have the rotis with this simple dish and the combination is awesome.

- Wash the Brinjal and wipe them with a clean cloth, roast them on a stove top. Keep rotating it in between so that all the sides get roasted well.
- Check with a knife by piercing inside if the brinjal has completely got roasted well and has become smooth.
- After its roasted well allow it cool down, peel the skin and discard it. Mash the brinjal with the spoon.
- Add oil, chopped onion, salt and red chilly powder. Mix well.
- Serve this with jowar/bajra roti.
Notes:
This is the
traditional style of bharit that is usually served with bhakri so I am not
frying the vegetables.
If you do not like raw
onions, you can fry them and add the mashed brinjal to it.
