Eggplant with Fragrant Spices & Herbs (Bhartha)
Ingredients
  • This is a delicious way that Indian and Pakistani cooks prepare roasted or grilled eggplant, and it tastes best made a day or two ahead. It’s good as a light lunch, served hot or cold with rice pilaf and a bowl of yogurt, or as a side dish with pita triangles. You can even use it in sandwiches.
  • 2 medium globe eggplant (about 1-¼ lb. each)
  • 2 tsp. ground coriander
  • 2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. turmeric
  • ½ tsp. cayenne, or to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large onions, chopped (to yield 2 cups)
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
  • 1 small fresh green chile, such as jalapeño, cored, seeded, and minced
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
