Something else. Next time, I will prick the Aubergine before putting it in to roast, after 20mins the Aubergine exploded and blew the cooker door open. - 19 Apr 2010
just a wee hint, I would cut the eggplant into chunks before roasting as I too have experienced them exploding, albeit within the oven - 09 Jan 2012
Something else. I added a couple of quartered hard boiled eggs ten minutes before the end, along with an extra tomato (or two) so that there was plenty of juice for the egg to soak up. I too added tsp of garam masala. - 29 Jan 2011
