Baked brinjal in tomato sauce
Also called: baked brinjal in tomato sauce, baingan bharta, baingan ka bharta, baked eggplant tomato, baingan bharta (baked), baingan tamatar, bengan bharta, brinjal bharta, berenjena en salsa (english/spanish mix)
Baked brinjal in tomato sauce is basically our desi baingan bharta vibe — smoky, soft brinjal mashed with juicy tomatoes, onion, garlic and a little ajwain. It’s the kind of dish that shows up beautifully with roti, paratha, or even plain rice in a home-style lunch or dinner. Simple ingredients, but that tangy-roasted flavour makes it feel very comforting.

What Goes Into It
Per serving (1 bowl)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
This dish is quite gut-friendly because it brings 4.1g fiber per bowl, mostly from brinjal, tomato, and onion. That fiber helps keep bowel movements smoother, and the tomato adds a nice dose of vitamin C too — 68.4mg per 100g, which supports the gut lining and overall digestion. Garlic and ajwain can also feel soothing for some people, especially when there’s bloating or heaviness after a meal. Small tip: if you’re sensitive to acidity, pair it with roti or rice instead of eating it very spicy, so the tomato tang feels gentler on the stomach.
