How to make Baigan/eggplant Choka and roasted tomato

scotch bonnet pepper

🥗Healthier: jalapeño

💰Cheaper: bell pepper

Jalapeño provides heat with fewer calories, while bell pepper offers a milder flavor.

Wash and dry 2 young eggplants.

Slice large cloves of garlic and insert them into cuts made in the eggplants.

Lightly brush the eggplants with olive oil or butter.

Place the eggplants on a baking dish along with a tomato.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Roast the eggplants and tomato until softened, rotating the eggplants as needed to ensure even cooking.

Check if the eggplants are done by pressing them; they should feel soft.

Remove the skins from the roasted eggplants and scoop out the flesh into a bowl.

Finely chop 1 onion, 2 marui peppers, and 2 green onions.

In a pan, heat 2 tbsp of coconut oil and sauté the chopped ingredients briefly to infuse the flavors.

Mix the sautéed ingredients into the mashed eggplant until well combined.
