INSTRUCTIONS

This expensive restaurant dish is easy to make at home. Although it is
found in both northern and southern India, it is prepared very
differently in each region. The following recipe is the northern
version.  Brush eggplant all over with 1/2 teaspoon oil. Preheat the
broiler,  prepare a charcoal grill or place the eggplant directly over
a gas  burner. Cook, turning occasionally, until the skin is completely
charred and the pulp is soft, about 30 minutes. Let cool briefly.  Slit
open and scoop pulp out onto a cutting board. Chop coarsely.  Heat
remaining oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add  mustard
and cumin. When seeds pop (takes about 1 minute), add onion,  turmeric
and chile. Stir and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomato,  eggplant and
curry powder. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook,  stirring
occasionally, about 6 minutes. Season to taste with salt and  sugar.
Garnish with cilantro.  Serve warm or at room temperature.  Variation:
In southern India, eggplant is roasted, peeled and allowed  to cool.
Yogurt (about 1 cup per 1-pound eggplant) is stirred in to  make a
creamy mixture, then the dish is seasoned with turmeric,  mustard and
plenty of fresh curry leaves. It is served as a cooling  salad
alongside spicy dishes.  PER SERVING: 155 calories, 3 g protein, 20 g
