Instructions
Roasting Brinjal
- Wash the brinjal in water and dry it with a cloth or kitchen napkin.
- Make 4 slits on equal distance.
- Add a pinch of hing in the slits with the knife. You can also add garlic to the slits. I do not eat garlic that's why I did not put garlic in this recipe.
- Grease the brinjal with the sarso oil with the hands. Prepare both of the brinjals in the same way.
- Turn on the gas and lower the flame.
- Put the brinjal on the gas flames and roast it for 10-12 minutes. Turn it once it is roast from one side.
- For checking it is completely roast or not, insert a knife in it. If it is easily going inside that means it is roast completely.
- Turn off the gas and remove the skin of the brinjal. It will come out easily because we applied sarso oil on it. Do not let it cool before removing the skin from it otherwise, it will not come out.
- Cut the head of the brinjal.
- Mash the roasted brinjal with the spatula or with a spoon.
