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

Baingan ka Chokha is a very popular recipe from Bihari cuisine. It is often made during winters in Bihar, Uttarpradesh and Jharkand region. Baingan Chokha and baigan ka bharta both are different in the terms of making and taste.
 Punjabi baigan ka bharta and baigan ka chokha both are made from roasted brinjals but the taste are so different from each other. Baingan ka chokha have more rustic flavour in it as compared to baingan bharta.
To make baingan ka bharta we fry tomato and spices in oil tempering but for making chokha roasted and peeled brinjal and tomato are just roasted , peeled and mashed . Few spices, fresh herbs 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. Chokha  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 baingan ka chokha .You cant replace mustard oil with any other vegetable oil for the authentic taste.

    Loved this! Would make again! Added a little turmeric to the pan and sliced the eggplants in half before broiling.

    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.
