Lift onto a plate. Add more oil as required for remaining slices. As oil drains out of eggplant, return this to the pan & add onions. Fry gently till translucent. Remove to another plate. Place a layer of eggplant back into the pan. Top with some sliced onion, green pepper rings & tomato slices. Repeat using remaining ingredients & adding a little salt & the chili between layers. Pour in any remaining oil from the eggplant. Add onion & water, cover & simmer gently for 10-15 minutes. Combine chakah ingredients & spread half the sauce into base of serving dish. Top with vegetables, lifting eggplant gently to keep slices intact. Leave some of the juices in the pan. Top vegetables with the rest of the chakah & drizzle the remaining juices over it.
