Thank you for the inspiration! I didn't use a mircrowave, but I put some oil on the eggplant and then roasted the eggplant in the oven using the broiler. It was delicious! I don't have a microwave. So, after I took the eggplant out of the oven I heated some oil in a pan and added black mustard seeds, hing, and black cumin seeds then I followed your recipe (except I didn't use onion). I put my tomato in a blender with some ginger and the green chilly. I added the tomato puree and after most of the moisture was gone I added the chili powder and some cumin/coriander powder and the chopped coriander. I stirred it well then added the eggplant. I let it cook for about 10-15 minutes then I added the garam masala. It was sooooo good!
Thank you!
