Spicy, nutty and a touch smokey, this eggplant recipe has been perfected over generations. Like most Indian recipes, it requires a lot of ingredients. It's also a two-part cooking process. But don't let that intimidate you! It's actually very simple and creates little mess, as you're making the masala in a bowl and then stuffing the eggplants. One cooking note: Make the masala saltier than you'd like it. The eggplant absorbs everything, so it needs a good amount of salt to make it shine.
