Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Pierce the eggplant with a fork in a few places. Place the eggplant on a baking sheet and roast it in the oven for about 30-40 minutes or until the skin is charred and the flesh becomes soft.

- Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
- Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies to the pan. Sauté for a minute until the raw smell disappears.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and mushy.
- Stir in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder (if using), and salt. Mix well.
- Add the mashed or chopped roasted eggplant to the pan. Mix everything together, ensuring the spices coat the eggplant evenly.
- Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to blend well.
- Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves.
- Serve Baingan Bharta hot with roti, naan, or rice. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the bharta before eating for an extra tangy flavor.
