Hyderabadi bagara baingan is a flavour-packed Indian eggplant curry which is loaded with the dynamic flavours of several seeds and spices. Learn how to make Hyderabadi Nizam style authentic baghara baingan.

To make Hyderabadi bagara baingan, first make the paste. Combine the sesame seeds, coconut, peanuts, ginger, garlic and onions in a broad non-stick pan and dry roast them over a slow flame for 3 minutes. Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin seeds powder, chilli powder and tamarind pulp and blend to a smooth paste using ½ cup water. Keep aside. Then make the sabzi. Slit the brinjals, lengthwise, into four, but leave the stems on, so the eggplants remain joined at the stem. Keep aside. Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan, add the mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds and nigella seeds and sauté on a medium flame for 30 seconds. When the seeds crackle, add the brinjals, curry leaves and green chillies and sauté over medium flame for 3 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Remove the brinjals and keep aside. In the same pan, add the coconut and sesame paste, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Add the cooked brinjals, ½ cup of water and salt, mix gently and cover with a lid and cook on a medium flame for 5 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Serve hot garnished with coriander.

Slit brinjals are cooked with an aromatic and spicy tempering of seeds, curry leaves and green chillies, and a rich paste that contains a large amount of flavourful ingredients ranging from onions and ginger to spice powders and peanuts to make bagare baingan.

The coconut and sesame paste is what lends its authentic colour to this Hyderabadi Nizam style authentic bagara baingan. Do not compromise on the quantity of oil used, as the paste has to be fried in it to get that toothsome experience.

Indeed, every mouthful of this Indian eggplant curry is brimming with flavour, and it is bound to turn even plain rice or rotis into a memorable meal!

Tips for Hyderabadi bagara baingan. 1. Choose the small variety of brinjals which are dark purple coloured for this sabzi. 2. While making slits in the brinjal, ensure that the slit is made only half way through it. Very deep slits will open up while cooking. 3. Using a broad non-stick pan is suggested as it will make tossing the brinjals easier. 4. Make the coconut and sesame paste fresh for best flavours and aroma.
