Baingan Masala Recipe

The Baingan Masala Recipe is a dish that is packed with flavors from rich vibrant tomatoes, a hint of garlic, garam masala and not to miss the coriander powder and leaves that give it that rich gravy consistency and taste. The baingan (eggplant) is first roasted seperately and then combined along with the tomato masala giving it the special touch. At home I serve the Baingan Masala along with Phulka's and a Carrot Salad - a favorite dinner combination at home.
