Jowar bhakri and baingan bharta are both heart-warming dishes from Maharashtra that bring together the earthy goodness of millets and the smoky flavour of fire-roasted eggplant. They were once a humble farmer's meal, but today this traditional duo has become a favourite among those who prioritise health, thanks to its gluten-free, low-oil, and nutrient-dense profile.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Roast the eggplant

Lightly grease the eggplant with oil and roast it directly on an open flame. Roast until the skin is charred and the flesh turns soft. Once done, place it on a kitchen towel and let it cool slightly. Peel off the charred skin and mash the flesh in a bowl.

Description - Step 2

Make the bhaigan bharta

Heat oil in a pan or karahi. Add mustard seeds and leave them to splutter. Add garlic, chopped onion, curry leaves (if using) and green chillies. Sauté until the garlic and onion turn lightly brown and aromatic. Now, toss in turmeric powder, mashed eggplant and salt. Mix it well to coat in the spices and let it cook for a minute. Then, add the tomatoes and ginger; mix them well once again. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Take it off the heat and sprinkle coriander leaves on top.

Description - Step 5

Cook the bhakri

Heat a tawa on medium heat. Make sure it’s hot before you put the bhakri on. Place the rolled bhakri onto the tawa and let it cook for about 30 to 40 seconds, or until you see little bubbles forming. Using a flat spatula, flip the bhakri and let the other side cook for another 30 to 40 seconds. Now, carefully lift the bhakri with tongs and place it over an open flame. Once the bhakri puffs up, flip it quickly to puff up the other side as well.
