Stuffed aubergines, bharwan baingan or as we call this dish in Marathi ‘bharleli vaangi’ are delicious whichever name you choose. My aubergine averse better half is now a convert, thanks to this recipe.

This recipe can be baked in an oven as well. Try use small, firm and gleaming aubergines for the recipe. The small rounds ones work just as well, but my personal favourites are the slim and tapered variety for best results in the sauté pan.

Did you know: Eggplant is a very good source of dietary fiber, vitamin B1, and copper. It is a good source of manganese, vitamin B6, niacin, potassium, folate, and vitamin K. Eggplants also contain certain essential phytonutrients which improve blood circulation and nourish the brain.

Instructions for Maharashtrian Bharleli Vaangi Recipe (Stuffed Roasted Aubergines)

To make Maharashtrian Bharleli Vaangi, marinade the slit aubergines with salt, turmeric, chilli powder, coriander and cumin powders. Keep aside for 20-30 minutes.

Make the stuffing with the fried onions, bread crumbs, chopped coriander. Stuff the aubergines with the mixture as mentioned in step 2.

Heat the oil in a sauté pan until it is really hot but not smoking. Add the stuffed aubergines and leave them uncovered until the aubergines start to brown. Turn regularly so that you have aubergines that are evenly browned.

Cover the sauté pan for 10-12 minutes until the aubergines are cooked through. Uncover the pan and cook till the aubergines turn crisp. Turn off the heat.

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve Maharashtrian Bharleli Vaangi hot with roti and dal.
