Ashoka Baigan Bharta

Ashoka Baigan Bharta – India's Most Smoky and Soulfully Satisfying Curry

Baigan Bharta is one of the most charismatic dishes in North Indian cuisine – and the secret lies in the technique. "Baigan" is Hindi for aubergine and "bharta" means mashed or pulverised. But it is what happens before the mashing that makes all the difference: the aubergine is smoked directly over an open flame until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft and infused with a deep, complex smoky flavour.

Ashoka has captured this authentic smoky essence in their Baigan Bharta – with a generous 39% aubergine and a well-spiced sauce of tomato, onion, coriander and chilli that embraces the smoky vegetable purée. The result is a dish that tastes as though it has been prepared by a skilled Indian home cook.

Perfect with:

• Roti or chapati: The traditional serving – dip the bread into the smoky purée
• Basmati rice: Serve over fluffy rice for a complete and satisfying meal
• As a mezze or starter: Serve with bread and raita for an impressive vegetarian starter
• Quick lunch: Ready in 2 minutes – deep smoky flavour without hours at the stove

Vegetarian, gluten-free and naturally smoky – a true option for anyone who loves deep, complex flavours.
