Bengan Bhartha

Bengan Bhartha is an Indian dish made with aubergine, onions and tomatoes cooked usually by roasting the aubergines in the oven and then mashing them together before adding them into a traditional masala onion and tomato-based sauce. This is my mum’s version of the dish and it’s packed full of flavour yet does not use that many spices. Some recipes use a lot more ingredients and spices and complicate the method, yet mum’s way is simple and straightforward to follow, the recipe is simplistic
