“Bhaingan” Pizza

Bhaingan Bhartha is a North-Indian style eggplant dish. It starts off much the same way the Mediterranean dish Baba Ganouj does.

Take a whole egglplant and rub some oil on the exterior skin. Bake in the oven until the eggplant looks “deflated”.

The tender inside is scraped out and cut. Cumin, garam masala, onions, chillies, chopped tomatoes ginger and garlic are added and all is cooked together.

I had some leftovers and made a “pizza” and topped with balsamic, fresh mozerella and basil and broiled it really quick.
