Ingredients

2 Lbs Eggplants - (use Indian eggplants)

Hara Masala

*1 Medium Onion ( chopped finely)

*2 Medium Jalapeno peppers (seeded and finely chopped)

* cup cilantro (finely chopped)

* green onions (finely chopped)

1 tsp crushed red pepper

Salt to taste

3 tbsp clarified butter or desi ghee

Directions

Preheat broiler to 400 degrees.

Put eggplants on the top rack and cook for about 20 minutes, turn side and cook another 20 minutes. Check if the skin is charred from all sides.

This could be done on stovetop if you have a gas burner (be sure to line the bottom of the stove with aluminium foil for easu clean up later on).

Turn off the broiler, take out the eggplants and let cool in a colander. When cold peel off the skin, and squeeze any juice out. Mash (prefrably in a mortar and pestle) or cut eggplant into very small pieces.

Add hara masala (onions, cliantro and green peppers), red pepper and salt.

Heat clarified butter or ghee in a pan, when hot add the eggplant mixture and just heat through, do not cook. Serve with pita, roti and yogurt raita.
