1

To begin making Dhungare Baingan Recipe first we will roast a whole eggplant over an open gas flame till the skin is charred. Turn off the flame and remove the charred baigan onto a plate. 

2

Once the eggplant is cooled, peel away the charred skin. 

3

Mash the smoked baingan well and put into a pot which has a tight lid. Add in the curd,onions, green chillies, roasted cumin powder, garam masala powder,red chilli powder, salt to taste. Stir well to combine. 

To give it second smoke using coal

1

Keep a piece of coal over a flame and heat till it turns red hot in colour.

2

Place a small bowl on top of baigan mixture and place the hot burning coal in the small bowl. Drop ghee on the coal and  =once the coal begins to smoke close the lid of the pot quickly. 

3

Keep it closed for five minutes to let the flavours of the smoke seep into the baigan. 

4

After 5 minutes open the lid and remove the coal bowl. Garnish Dhungare Baingan with coriander leaves and serve.
