About Baingan Ka Khatta
Baingan Ka Khatta is a traditional Hyderabadi curry in which eggplants are cooked in a tangy and spicy gravy made with onions, tomatoes, fresh coconut, and a few other simple ingredients. This vegan and gluten-free recipe is popular for special occasions like weddings, house parties, or festivals like Eid or Diwali. Serve it with phulka, tandoori roti, or naan. It also goes well with biryani and pulao. I make this recipe in a traditional pressure cooker, but you can use a pan over the stovetop or in an instant pot.
For The Curry
Brinjal (Eggplant, Baingan) – This curry is traditionally made using small brinjals. If they’re not available, use the large one cut into chunks. Spice Powders – You will need basic spice powders, such as coriander powder, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, and cumin powder. Others – You will also need oil, brown mustard seeds, red onions, curry leaves, ginger-garlic paste, salt, tamarind pulp, and jaggery.
