Charred Aubergines with Indian Spices and Coriander

This is one of the best ways to use aubergines I’ve ever come across. There are different varieties of this dish, usually known as baingan bharta – mashed aubergine – all over India. This one is from Punjab. It’s great served with any grilled meat or fish, or on its own as a dip. It also works hot, cold or at room temperature, so get cooking and see what you think.
