Recipe: Smoky Indian Eggplant (Baingan Ka Bharta)
Smoky Indian Eggplant Baingan Ka Bharta) figures prominently in Happy Endings, a new book by my friend Minita Sanghvi. The smokiness really does come through even if, like me, you roast the eggplant on a gas stove rather than over … Continue reading
