Critical Success Points

  • Roasting the eggplant until fully cooked and slightly charred.
  • Frying the whole spices and dry powders just enough to remove raw flavor without burning.
  • Mixing the mashed eggplant with the spiced base and cooking briefly to meld flavors.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil and open flame with care to avoid burns.
  • Use oven mitts when moving the hot stand or pan.
  • Chop chilies and garlic on a stable cutting board to prevent slips.
