No-Fry Dahi Baingan Recipe with step wise pictorial and video method.

Gluten-free

No onion, no garlic, even no tomatoes and no ginger. This is the simplest of all the eggplant recipes which is done with few basic spices and curd in general. And belive us, this is one of the most tasty eggplant recipe we have ever made.

There are numerous dahi Baingan recipes but the one in the given post is slightly different in many ways. One, we have added the eggplants whole without cutting them into roundels. Secondly, these are non fried whereas normally baingan in dahi recipes is deep-fried.

And lastly it has no onion which is otherwise there in other recipes. So this recipe is ideal for those who don’t eat onion and garlic for any reason.

Being non fried, this recipe is much lighter and heart friendly and as a result good for health conscious people as everyday meals.

Although Dahi Baingan is a classic Indian dish from Odisha and Bengal but we have been making it since the time we were not aware about the existence of any such recipe.

The beauty of this recipe lies in the fact that it calls for very minimal ingredients and gets ready in 15-20 minutes as there’s no onion, tomatoes or garlic to cook. Oil, few spices and curd make it a complete meal.

As to us, this recipe is perfect for summers because eggplants are warm in nature (garam taseer) and dahi is having the cooling properties which helps in balancing this dish.

You can perfectly pair it with roti, paratha or naan or even with plain or jeera rice as a side dish.
