Baigan Ka Chokha- A rustic delicious roasted brinjal and tomato mash from the land of Bihar

Baigan ka Chokha is a very popular recipe from Bihari cuisine.It is often made during winters in bihar, Uttarpradesh and Jharkand region. Baigan ka chokha and baigan ka bharta both are different in the terms of making and taste.
Baigan Ka chokha -Though Punjabi baigan ka bharta and baigan ka chokha both are made from roasted brinjals but the taste are so different from each other,chokha have more rustic flavour in it as compared to baigan bharta.
To make baigan ka bharta we fry tomato and spices in oil tempering but for making chokha roasted and peeled brinjal and tomato are just mashed and few spices and a generous amount of raw mustard oil is added in it and served like it only.no frying is needed after this.
.
This brinjal chokha is served with litti or slightly thicker rotis and chili chutney. It also taste good with daal- rice and khichdi .Don’t avoid or skip the mustard oil in it as it gives a very delicious rustic flavour to the baigan ka chokha .You cant replace it with any other vegetable oil.

    Thanks for clarifying the difference between bharta and chokha. My mother in law makes it without frying while I do it the Punjabi way. I thought the names were interchangeable and there were just different ways of making it. Love it both ways though.
