Baigan ka Bharta ( served cold )
Ingredients :
1/2 kg brinjals
4 garlic pods
2 onions
Olive Oil
8 pieces of olives
hung yoghurt
green chillies
ground pepper
salt
Method :
1) Boil the brinjals on gas.
2) Peel the brinjal and mash it with a fork in a bowl. This helps retain its
smokiness.
3) Chop, friend garlic and onion in a deep pan with ordinary olive oil and then
add mashed brinjals and stir till red.
4) Switch off the flame and drizzle olive oil on the mash while it's still hot.
The oil will open up with incredible aroma and possibilities in the brinjal
mash.

and with fresh ground pepper.
6) Fold into some hung whipped yogurt which in turn is folded into a cold baigan
ka bharta.
