Coat the eggplant with some oil and make slits with a knife. Place the eggplant in a baking dish and bake in a 400F preheated oven for about 30 min, till it is tender and the skin starts to peel off easily. Leave it to cool.

Chop the onions and tomatoes and keep aside. In a pan, add the oil and saute the onions and green chilis till golden brown. Add the ginger garlic paste and the tomatoes. Fry till the tomatoes are soft and add the peas, tomato paste and the masalas. Peel the eggplant and mash the flesh till soft. Add the pulp to the pan and fry till well incorporated. Add some water if it's thick. Fry till it reaches the desired consistency. Serve with rotis.

I love this just as a spread on bread. It's really tasty, and people who do not like brinjal should give it a try. You would never know it had brinjal in it.
