I totally love this, super yummy it's hard to think it's good for you - 15 Jul 2013
I thought the yoghurt made the texture a bit strange, but very healthy. Coconut milk/cream could be an option, but not as healthy. - 08 Sep 2009
The recipe is almost authentic - i say almost because Indians use garam masala and not curry powder. I don't add yogurt to my baingan bharta, but adding it isn't a sin, i wouldn't heat the dish after adding yogurt. Also, the eggplant is usually fire roasted and the smokey flavor is just outstanding. Also a small teaspoon of lemon juice in the end brings all the flavors out. - 11 Mar 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
