Baingan Bharta
"Our latest foray into the world of frozen entrées inspired by Indian cuisine combines the mild, slightly sweet flavor and creamy consistency of roasted eggplant with aromatic alliums like onion and garlic, savory seasonings like turmeric and fenugreek leaves, and a nice level of heat, courtesy of fresh green chili peppers. Hearty, flavorful, and satisfying, each bite of Trader Joe’s Baingan Bharta is layered with a pleasantly complex mix of tastes and textures. And though the eating experience may be complex, our take on this iconic Punjabi vegetarian dish (also known in some parts of the world as baigan chokha) is surprisingly simple to prepare: just heat, serve, and enjoy. Our Baingan Bharta makes an excellent (and effortless) lunch or dinner option when enjoyed entirely on its own, and an even better entrée when served over Basmati Rice as part of a larger meal. Speaking of which, we find that it’s especially suited for pairing with a nice Naan or other warm flatbread, for scooping. And to add an extra dimension of creaminess (and temper the heat of the green chili peppers, too), we recommend topping it with a dollop of Plain Greek Yogurt."
