How To Make Instant Pot Baingan Bharta Eggplant Dip

1. Heat Instant Pot pot and put in oil. 2. Once the oil is hot, put in one layer of eggplant slices. Once these slices char, they will shrink a bit and you can put in some more eggplant slices. 3. Once the eggplant is charred and somewhat soft, add in onions, garlic, turmeric, salt and let these spices roast in the oil for a bit as you mix everything together.

4. Add in the tomato and scrape up every last bit of the brown bits from the bottom. 5. Add in the water, and close the pot immediately before you lose any liquid through evaporation. 6. Cook at High Pressure for 3 minutes, and release steam immediately. 7. Open the pot and turn on to Sauté to get rid of some of the water if needed. It will thicken as it cools.

8. Add the liquid smoke and stir well, garnish with cilantro and serve with naan. 9. If you have kids that are not fond of eggplant or spicy food, I'd suggest mixing in a little greek yogurt or sour cream to soften the taste, and trying it that way.
