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

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.
