Broil the eggplants, turning often, 25 minutes or until tender and the skin is well charred. Transfer to paper bag and let stand 10 minutes; peel and discard skin. In a large bowl, mash the eggplant to a coarse pulp. Set aside. In a blender, combine the garlic, chili and ginger. Process until fine. Set aside. In a medium saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of water until boiling. Add the cardamom and cloves and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the onions.
