INSTANT POT BAINGAN BHARTA - Spiced Mashed Eggplant | Vegan Richa Recipes

Instant Pot Baingan Bharta - Indian Spiced Mashed Eggplant Curry. 1 Pot 30 Min.
FULL RECIPE: www.veganricha...
MY BOOKS: veganricha.com...
Baingan Bharta translates to eggplant mash. The traditional bharta is a long process, Large eggplants are roasted over a flame or grill to char the skin. The skin is them removed and the partially cooked eggplant is mashed. Then added to a spiced onion tomato base and cooked to roast the eggplant with the spices and base.
In this instant pot version, cubed Eggplant gets pressure cooked with the onion tomato base, then mashed and cooked a bit to roast. Pressure cooking reduces the steps and also uses less bowls, vessels! I add some smoked paprika that adds a fresh smoked flavor that is generally there in this dish if the eggplant was charred and cooked. Some liquid smoke will do that too, although I find that a bit too strong.
This spiced eggplant mash also makes a great dip with some hot pita bread. Add some chickpeas to make this into a meal or serve with a side of chickpea curry or dals.
This bharta is 1 Pot, needs just 15 mins active time, is Easy and Delicious! Add some chickpeas tomake into a meal.

It's so pretty!!! I love cooking in an electric pressure cooker! It's soooo easy! This looks wonderful!

[@claudiaw9246]

Yay, this is one of my favourite dishes! I'm glad you made a version for the Instant Pot, but will also apply this cooking technique to the recipe in your first cookbook :-)

Yummy

I literally just said out loud, “holy shit that looks good.” I have an Indian restaurant that has made the best baingan bartha, but it’s an hour away (doesn’t stop me) and this kinda inspired me to try and do it myself. The hard part will be the spices. Thanks for the motivation!

What’s the pressure level ? High or low

[@Yzyxdolorza]

Do you think the version with the whole little round eggplants stuffed with nuts (my favorite dish!) would work in the I-pot since they could be set in just before pressure cooking and lifted out before the peas?
