There are verity of eggplants but for bharta 2 of the types are most common. They are big and usually green or violet in colour. Both eggplants are slightly different in taste. They are roasted on stove top on a low heat or in a chulha (indian stove or you can just imagine grill made with clay). Another favourite side dish is Mirchi thecha.
