How To Make Bharta
Aubergines or eggplant as they are known in some places is one of my favorite vegetables to work with. I just love the flavor and texture of these. Bharta is the Indian version of Baba Ghanoush and is the perfect side dish in my opinion squirted with a lot of lemon juice to bring the flavours out.
