Vaingyache Bharit (Baingan Ka Bharta)

Baingan Ka Bharta recipe is already there on my blog using chili powder ( Baingan Ka Bharta Recipe ).The below Bharta recipe is using green chilies which taste different then the red one. Bharit is always loved by all regions of India whether its North or South or west India.The only difference in all the Bharta is little change in ingredients and way they prepare.Like in North the Bharta is seasoned by using ginger garlic paste and zeera and also use of tomatoes,while in some parts they will add yogurt and in Goa in bharit we add Tamarind and coconut ,but the love for Baingan Bharta remains the same irrespective of how its prepared.
