Smoked and mashed roasted eggplant — a whole large eggplant charred directly over an open flame or under a grill until the skin is completely blackened and the interior is soft and smoky. The skin is peeled and the flesh mashed with raw onion, tomato, green chilli, garlic, and a tempering of mustard seeds and cumin in mustard oil. The smoking of the eggplant over fire is the essential step — no oven roasting can replicate it. Eaten with tandoori roti or chapati.
