Give two slits to the eggplant, but without disturbing the stem. Apply some oil all over as it helps to peel off easily. Roast it either in the oven or on the gas stove till the skin is charred. Cool and peel off the skin. Mash well and keep aside.
* Step 2
Heat oil and temper with the cumin seeds and asafoetida. Then add onion, ginger, garlic and green chilies and sauté till light brown.
* Step 3
Add all the dry spices (except salt) and stir fry for a few seconds. Now add the chopped tomatoes and cook till it is well mashed.
* Step 4
Add the eggplant, salt and kasuri methi and stir fry for two minutes or till everything is well blended.
* Step 5
When done, garnish with coriander leaves and serve with tandoori roti, chapatti or with any Indian bread.
