    Hi Badawi, great take on baigan choka. I enjoy raw onions drizzled with hot oil at the end. Can't wait for Flatbread recipe. Keep safe

    Fantastic!! You did really well in getting out most of the flesh. I agree with you that a few pieces of the charred skin is totally fine. 🙂 I rub a little oil on the outside of the bhaigan before roasting it. And finish with sliced onions and pepper topped with some smoking hot oil (chunkay).

    I understand yuh roasted garlic technique eh, but is to chunkay a few cloves and incorporate it at the very end - dat too does give yuh de roasted flavour yuh looking for. I do the roasting of de baigan wit garlic cloves inserted into slits in the skin in tandem with de chunkay, so is around a whole head of garlic i usin, too. Some sliced raw onion in the final mix for a little extra tang really intensifies de flavour. Also, Baidawi, is to sannay eh, wit sada - come nah man, dem kinna pocket sandwich ting eh fuh ting like baigan choka!😳

    The BESS!!. I also like to roast both the pepper and garlic in the baigan itself. To get the flesh I slit the entire length and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh. Whenever we use the grill, I roast baigan and garlic over the coals. Mmhmm can't get it better😄... Nice Monday evening meal with a little avocado or fry plantain at the side👍👍👍
