Grilled Aubergine Mash | Pura bengena Pitika

Charcoal Grilled Aubergine, most commonly known as (Eggplant/Baingan in Hindi/ Bengena in Assamese) is favourite side dish of all Assamese.

Its quick, healthy , tasty and yes without spice in just 3 steps.

Ingredients:

1 Eggplant

1 teaspoon Musturd Oil/ Canola oil

1 medium chopped onion

2 teaspoon freshly chopped coriander

2-3 green chillies

Salt as per taste

Method:

1. Grill the Aubergine and Green Chillies in direct fire. Since, traditional charcoal is not available in cities, I prefer roasting it in Gas.

2. Place the the aubergine in a bowl of water (so that the skin comes out easily while peeling)

3. Peel the skin and mash it finely with freshly chopped onions, coriander, oil , grilled green chilli and salt.
