Baingun Timaater
Wash and slice baingun. Heat ghee and saute the onion and garlic when
hot for 2 to 3 minutes. Add laal mirchi, huldi, pissa hua dhanya aur zeera and saute for a further 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in sliced
eggplant. Add salt and ginger. Blend together well. Cook for 10
minutes. Add tomatoes, cover pot and cook for another 10 minutes.
Sprinkle with garam masala and serve. Be careful not to overcook
otherwise it will go very mushy.

I got anther baingan recipe:
Take one large baigan and broil it in a toaster oven. When it's completely melted, take it out, and peel the skin. Mash the pulp with a fork.
Take some oil in a pan, add onions to brown them. Add salt and peppar. Add tomatos and stir for a few mins. Add turmeric and corriandar powder. Add the baingan pulp and cook it together, stirring. Towards the end, add zeera and garam masala.
It's really yummy :)
And another baingun recipe 
Broil the eggplant in a toaster oven or even directly on a flame. The skin will burn leaving the pulp all soft. Once fully charcoaled peel the skin off and cut up the pulp in small pieces. Finely chop onions and tomatoes. Whip up some unsweetened yoghurt and add the onions, tomatoes and baingun to it. Add salt, black pepper and some green pepper if you wish. You can add a bit of crushed corriander seeds if you like the taste. Sprinkle fresh corriander on top. I love that slightly burnt taste of the eggplant thats why I cook mine directly on a flame, but now we have an electric cooking range so I have to make do with the toaster oven 
The dish is thandi in taseer too. Absolutely yummy.
^ Oh yeah my mom makes that. It's yummy :)
And salad with lemon, olive oil and salt sprinkled over it with any vege bhujiya or daal is just fingerlicking scrumpcious
My mouth is actually watering.
Zucchini bhujiya:
Peel and cut up the zucchini in semi circles, they should neither be too think nor too thick. Add a significant amount(zyada sa) of small chopped onions. Pour some oil in a pan and put in the onion and zucchini add salt, tumeric powder and crushed green peppers. If you use red peppers it makes the vege all orange and ugly. You always want to retain the green colour. Cook for about 10-15 mins stirring every now and then till the vegetable looks transparent sort or like it looks after having been sauteed. Add fresh chopped tomatoes and cook for another 5 mins. Sprinkle lots of chopped corriander.
I love it
