STEEMIT IRON CHEF 2018 Act 01 Round 06 :🍆 Roasted Mashed Eggplant 🍆🍅

Roasted Meshed Eggplant (In Hindi it is called Baingan ka Bharta) is a popular dish in the Indian subcontinent.

It is made by big sized eggplants with various locally grown ingredients like tomato, onion, potato etc. It is a vegetarian dish that is prepared by mincing eggplant that is grilled over charcoal, direct fire or baked in the oven. This infuses the dish with a smoky flavour.
