Bagara Baingan is a scrumptious food from Hyderabadi cuisine. It has a thick paste-like gravy which is prepared with different spices. Some of the unique spices used to stuff the eggplant are green chillies, peanuts, coconuts, poppy seeds, white cumin, white sesame and coriander seeds. Other ingredients used in bagara baingan recipe are tamarind juice, whole green chillies, curry leaves, turmeric powder, raw crushed onion, red pepper, ginger garlic paste and salt.

There are many ways you can enjoy Hyderabadi bagara baingan. Serve it with biryani, bagara rice or with chapati, naan or even pulao. Living in Karachi, I have realized that it is a dish very few people can cook. In whole 30 years of my life, I never found it to eat anywhere except once when a friend's mom cooked it and luckily I ate the lunch with him.

This recipe is gem!

It is something tried and tasted some day of leisure.

Wonderful recipe

  • Mahreen, Karachi

Once I was flying to Turkey and there in the flight, i was served some brinjal recipe. I ate it happily because I know how beneficial these vegetables are. But my child did not eat it :). He asked for chicken and then the hostess served chicken.

  • Saima, Islamabad

Hi, which type of saucepan is used to cook this recipe? I am asking this because it is lengthy and needs a very long consistent cooking, first for brinjals and then other things. so what sort of things to cook this please?

  • Muniza, Lahore

bagara baingan recipe is nice and very tasty. Though, it's long but as my passion, i never felt hesitant to make it. I see you have used additional ingredients that I do not use in my cooking. That's interesting and I hope it will be good for the taste.

  • Sadaf, Khewra

Cooking this today and hopefully i will get a wonderful meal with appreciation of everyone. I have cooked lots of foods so far and everyone tells me that taste of my hands-cooked foods is awesome. I keep trying newer recipes every week.
