Ingredients:





     2 lg Eggplants, unpeeled,


          -diced


     2 lg Tomatoes, diced


     2 lg Onions, finely chopped


     2 tb Oil (or clarified


          -butter)


     2 ts Salt


     1 ts Black pepper






 In a large frying pan, saute the onion in the oil until it is translucent.


 Add the spices and stir for 1 minute. Add the eggplant and tomato, stir


 well and cover. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are mushy (about


     1/2    hour).


 


 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.


 


 NOTES:


 


 *  Indian eggplant, onion and tomato casserole -- 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. Yield: serves 6-8.


 


 *  I don't make this with any spices but salt and pepper. The genuine


 Indian version of the recipe adds various Indian spices; try about 1 t of


 fresh ginger, about 1/2 t of turmeric, about 1/2 t of cayenne, and about 1


 t of garam masala for a more authentic Indian flavor.


 


 : Difficulty:  easy.


 : Time:  15 minutes preparation, 45 minutes cooking.


 : Precision:  no need to measure.
