Baigan chokha is a delicious vegetarian dish from Bihar, India, made with charred eggplant mashed with garlic, roasted tomatoes, lime juice, and onions.
The eggplant is broiled until tender and smoky, then mashed with garlic that has been cooked inside the eggplant for a sweet, aromatic flavor.
A drizzle of olive oil adds a vegetal and peppery flavor, and the dish can be enjoyed as a side, a dip, or simply on its own.
Baigan chokha is a simple yet flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion, especially during the summer months.
