Baingan Ka Bharta originated from north Indian and became a popular meal all over India. Every home has its way of making the Baingan Ka Bharta recipe.

Today I am sharing with you the famous Kathiyawadi style Ringan no Oro recipe, which is common in Gujarat. It has a soft texture and earthy flavor.

In this recipe, I roast the eggplant on the stovetop until cooked and tender. Once it cools down, I peeled its skin and mash or chop it finely. I cooked it with onions, tomatoes, garlic, chili, and some spices. Finally, garnish with coriander leaves. I made it tastier by adding a tadka of garlic and red chili powder. 

Baingan is also known as Ringan, Vangi, Eggplant, Aubergine, Brinjal, or Begun. Here Bharta means Mash.

Large big fat brinjals are picked for in this recipe. Traditionally, the Brinjal is grilled on hot charcoal to give that particular earthy smoky flavor to the dish. It brings the best flavor. I don’t have a Charcoal grill at my home, so I prefer to Roast eggplant directly on the stovetop. It gives a similar taste and works well for me.

Make sure you use green onion and green garlic for winter special fresh flavors. You can use regular onion and garlic too. 

One other Variation of this recipe is Raw Ringna no Oro, prepared with mixing perfectly Charred roasted baingan, freshly chopped onions, tomatoes, garlic, a few spices, coriander leaves, and Raw Peanut oil. It has a distinct flavor popular in the Kathiawar region of Gujarat.

Do try this dish, especially for those who do not like to eat Brinjal in any way.

Bajari Na Rotla

Enjoy this delicious Ringan no Oro recipe with Bajra No Rotlo (Pearl Millet Indian Bread) and Lasan Ni Chutney (Garlic Dip) during cold winter days. You can relish it with Roti, Chapati, or Phulka too.

Notes
While selecting the brinjal for this recipe be sure to choose ones that are large with a shiny smooth surface without any holes, as these are likely to have a lower number of seeds.
Before chopping the roasted baingan, cross-check it from inside.
