--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      large         eggplants -- unpeeled, diced.
   2      large         ripe tomatoes -- diced.
  30      milliliters   oil -- (or clarified
                        -- butter)
   2      large         onions -- finely chopped.
  10      milliliters   salt
   5      milliliters   black pepper
 

Preparation:

1. In a large frypan, saute the onion in the oil until it is translucent. 2. Add the spices, and stir for 1 minute. 3. Add the eggplant and tomato, stir well, and cover. Reduce heat, and simmer until vegetables are mushy (about 1/2 hour). 4. Remove the lid, and continue cooking until most of the liquid evaporates (about 15 minutes). The finished dish should be thick enough that you could use it as a dip. Author's Notes: This is an Indian dish, called Baigan Bartha in Hindi. We make it a lot, and call it ``Bangin' Bart.'' It is eggplant, onions, and tomatoes, but not in the usual way. In this recipe, the vegetables are cooked to mush, with only a small amount of tomato - just enough to flavor it. I don't make this with any spices but salt and pepper. The genuine Indian version of the recipe adds various Indian spices; try of fresh ginger, of turmeric, of garam masala for a more authentic Indian flavor. Difficulty : easy. Precision : no need t
