Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 tablespoons olive oil -- or canola oil
1/8 teaspoon ground asafetida
1/2 teaspoon skinned urad dal -- or yellow split peas
1/2 teaspoon whole mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon whole nigella seeds -- (kalonji) or black sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
1 medium onion -- chopped
2 cloves garlic -- chopped
1 1/2 pounds slim Japanese eggplants -- cut crossways into 1-inch segments, or "baby" Italian eggplants cut in half lengthways and then crossways, into 1-inch segments
2 medium tomatoes -- grated, about 1.25 cups
1 cup chicken stock -- or water
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper -- (to -1/2)

Pour the oil into a very large frying pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, put in the asafetida and the urad dal. As soon as the dal turns a shade darker, add the mustard, cumin, nigella, and fennel seeds, in that order. When the mustard seeds begin to pop, a matter of seconds, add the onions. Stir and fry for a minute. Add the garlic and the eggplant. Stir and fry for 4–5 minutes or until the onions are a bit browned. Add the grated tomatoes, stock, salt, and cayenne. Stir to mix and bring to a boil. Cover, turn heat to low, and cook about 20 minutes or until the eggplants are tender, stirring now and then.
