Baigan ka Chokha is a traditional Bihari or Bengali recipe which is made by roasting brinjal on open flame and then mixing it with raw onions, garlic and green chillies.

Raw onions and garlic along with green chillies give it is a pungent taste.🥰 delicious delicacy which will win your heart😋

Method of making Baingan ka Choka 👍

1. First of all you, Wash the eggplants and tomatoes, and keep other ingredients ready.
2. With knife, make 2 inch slits lengthwise along with each eggplant.
3. Peel garlic cloves and cut into halves. Stuff halves into a few of the slits along the eggplants.
4. Add to an open flame and roast for about 30 minutes or until the eggplants are completely charred and soft. Rotate eggplant so that all sides are roasted evenly.
5. Roast tomato on an open flame until the skin is charred and easily removes from the flesh.
6. Finely chop the green onions and pepper.
7. Add oil to a small sauté pan on medium heat. Add chopped onions and a bit of pepper and green chilies sauté a little to get it translucent.
8. When eggplants are completely roasted, remove charred skin and scoop fleshy part and roasted garlic out with a fork.
