Baingan Bharta(Mashed Aubergine Fry)

by Neetu

This my first video blog ever and I wanted to keep it simple and easy, so the best option that came in my mind was Baingan Bharta… its a super comfort food for me and I don’t even need chapati to eat bharta, can have it with just a plain slice of bread….

Please have a look at the video and lemme know your feedback…..
