Bharvan Baingan recipe | Stuffed Eggplant Indian Style with step wise pictorial and video method is the quickest & tastiest way to cook baingans with the least ingredients.

This recipe is made using smallest baingans. “Bharvan” is a Hindi word which means “filled”or “stuffed” & “Baingan” is a Hindi word for brinjal/eggplant/aubergine.

To make this recipe, we have used deep purple baingans but you can follow the same recipe for the baingans of other colours too, but yes, they must be the small one. Sharing the picture hereunder for better understanding :

If you have the eggplants of bigger size, then this recipe is not for you. Then go for amazing recipe of Smoked Eggplant Curry, popularly known as Baingan Ka Bharta in India, which too is a vegan recipe. 

This vegan stuffed aubergine recipe needs no onion, no ginger, no garlic and no tomatoes. All you need few spices readily available in every kitchen, mix them and cook this mouthwatering vegetable. You can enjoy it with rice, roti, naan or Paratha. We just love to have it with chapati & a bowl of curd on the side of our plate.

Step wise pictorial method of Bharvan Baingan recipe | Stuffed Eggplant Indian Style

Wash and keep aside baingan so that they turn dry.

Take a small bowl and add all the spices mentioned, which includes red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, Garam masala, Dry Mango powder, salt and give them a good mix. Keep aside.

Now take a baingan & from the lower side (extreme opposite to stem side), cut 2 marks across the baingan dividing it in 4 parts. MOST IMPORTANT point is that don’t cut in a way that 4 parts get separated. Baingan should remain intact from the stem side. Cut all the baingans likewise.

Using your fingers tips, fill the spices mix in each baingan one by one. You can also use spoon if you like.

Now add oil in a wide pan and when the oil gets cooked, as it was mustard one, add all the brinjals  in the pan.

Cover the pan with a lid. Let them cook on low flame for 4 to 5 minutes.

Remove the lid and turn their side. Likewise keep on cooking it with the lid on, then turning their side after short intervals, again lid on & so on. They need to be checked quite often & turning their side so that baingans must not burn. When the baingans turn soft & mushy, they are done. It may take from 18 to 20 minutes.

Enjoy warm with chapati or the way you want.
