What is Bhagara Baingan?
Bhagara baingan is a signature dish of Hyderabad: baby eggplants cooked in a rich gravy of roasted peanuts, sesame and coconut, sharpened with tamarind. The result is nutty, tangy and gently spiced, with a balance of sweet, sour and savoury that's quite different from North Indian curries.
It's traditionally served at weddings and festive meals alongside biryani, and it's one of the most-ordered vegetable dishes at The Curry Creations.
