Method
:
Preheat
the oven to 300 degrees(if you are using an oven).
Put the Egg Plant in the baking sheet and keep checking
it/turning it till the outer skin starts cracking and can
be peeled off without difficulty. Remember, this process
has to be done carefully so that the inner part of the EggPlant
is also cooked well.
If you have a gas burner, put the eggplant directly on the
burner and keep turning it till the outer skin starts cracking
and can be peeled off easily.
Allow the eggplant to cool a little. Peel the outer skin
of the eggplant.
When the skin is removed, crush the eggplant using knife/spoon
well so that it has an even consistency.
Put some oil in a pan. When hot, put som Jeera(cumin seeds)
into it and put the (not so finely chopped onion) into it.
When the onions are light golden brown, add the (finely
cut)green chillies and (finely cut)ginger to it.
Heat it for 2-3 minutes. Add all the masalas.
Add the eggplant to it. Stir it well and crush the eggplant
as much as possible.
Heat it for 5 minutes.
Garnish with coriander leaves.
