Baingan bharta: smoky mashed eggplant with lemon on a patterned plate
A typical Baingan Bharta. Each restaurant makes its own version.

About Baingan Bharta

Baingan bharta is smoky mashed eggplant, roasted over an open flame until the skin chars, then cooked with onion, tomato, garlic and spices. It comes from Punjab.

Regional versions

In Bengal a similar dish is called begun pora. Some restaurants add peas or finish it with cream, and the best versions keep the smoky flavor of the roast.

What to order with it

Have it with roti or naan and a dal. It is a good vegan choice if made without butter.

How this list is made

We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.

Missing a place, a dish or a closure? Tell us and we will fix it.
