Char Flavoured Eggplant and Green Peas Ingredients

1 md Eggplant, cut into 1" cubes	1 ts Salt
2 c Fresh or frozen green peas	3 Whole hot chilies
4 tb Ghee	1/8 ts Asafetida
1 tb Coarsely crushed coriander	3 Sprigs fresh coriander
1/2 tb Coarsely crushed cumin seeds	2 c Stock
1 ts Turmeric

Instructions for Char Flavoured Eggplant and Green Peas

Place eggplant into the bottom of a heavy pot. Sprinkle in the fresh peas, dot with ghee & add the remaining ingredients. Bring the liquid to a boil & cook for 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, partially cover & cook for about 30 minutes, shaking the pot from time to time to prevent sticking. If the stock is evaporating too quickly, add some more & reduce the heat. When almost all the stock has evaporated, add the frozen peas (if you are using them instead of fresh) reduce the heat further & fry until a crust has begun to form on the bottom of the pot & the eggplant has begun to char. Remove from the heat & let sit for 3 to 4 minutes. Gently stir in the crust & serve immediately.
