Brian - You havent eaten Baingan bartha yet. Amazing. Now where is that Hariyali recipe??

Shweta I like this recipe and my wife does it quite a few times. But hate the burnt flakes messing up my cooking range.

Addie, after brushing the egg plant with oil, cover it with aluminum foil and then roast it on the gas, it comes out very nice and the mess won't be there either.
