Directions

Step 1
Roast the eggplant over an open flame or under a broiler until it's completely cooked, smoky, and skin is charred. Cool, peel the skin, and mash the pulp.
Step 2
Heat oil or ghee in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
Step 3
Stir in grated ginger, minced garlic, and green chilies. Sauté for 1 minute.
Step 4
Add chopped tomato and cook until soft and mushy, and oil starts to separate, about 7-10 minutes.
Step 5
Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Sauté for 1 minute.
Step 6
Add the mashed roasted eggplant and salt. Mix well and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all flavors meld.
Step 7
Sprinkle with garam masala and fresh coriander. Mix and serve hot with roti or paratha.
