Method
Tested in our kitchen
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the eggplants with a fork and roast on a baking sheet until the skin is blackened and the inside is soft, about 25-30 minutes.
Let the eggplants cool, then peel off the skin and mash the pulp.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, and once they start to pop, add garlic and onions. Sauté until onions are golden brown.
Add chopped tomatoes, coriander powder, turmeric, and salt to the pan. Cook until tomatoes are soft.
Add mashed eggplant, chopped green chili (if using), and garam masala to the pan. Mix well and cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently.
