How to make:
Slit the egg plants vertically into 4 parts (do not not cut into separate pieces) and soak in water. Take some oil in a cooker and fry the onions. Grind the ingredients mentioned into a dry n slight coarse masala. Drain the water from the soaked egg plants and fill the masala into the slits. Place them in the cooker.
