Vegan baigan ka bharta is a mashed and indian spiced eggplant dish, to be eaten with rice or indian breads. I find that even people who think they don't like eggplant really like this flavorful indian dish, so don't hesitate to give it a try. This vegetarian indian recipe is also vegan. Baigan ka bharta, also sometimes spelled "Baingan ka bjarta" Is an indian punjabi favorite.
