Begun pora / Roasted Eggplant and scary receipe

No, No, don't go by the title of post.
The only scary part in this whole thing is roasting the eggplant. Its a tricky elaborate and lengthy process.




What You Need


Eggplant 1 medium

Salt and 4 tsp of mustard oil.

Green chilli 1-2
Onion 1 finely chopped


How I Did It


Wash an eggplant thoroughly.
Slit it at several places, not very clumsy way,  with a knife.

Rub with salt and 2 tsp of mustard oil.



Now put it on grill, iron caged base used for making Rotis at home.
Fire the oven. Smoke or roast the eggplant: .

Rotate the eggplant 90 degrees every few minutes or so. The skin will gradually loose, the eggplant will start to sag. After about 20 minutes when the skin is completely loose, remove the eggplant from the flame. 

Allow the eggplant to cool, then discard all of the skin.
Mash with hand.
Add Mustard Oil and mix finely chopped onion, finely chopped green chili, salt to taste.
