this is basically the recipe i got from amy's food blog....she writes recipes much better than i do giving right proportions and quantities...so u better check it out here
i ll give u the whole procedure in steps and i ll write what modifications i have done to suit the situation
step one :
chop egg plant horizontally each piece being around 1/3rd inch..
apply salt and let the egg plant sweat for 30 min...drain the excess water away
finely chop tomatoes and onions....make a paste of at least 2 tomatoes for the sauce...u can crush onions to paste form too if u like ur sauce smooth....
u ll also need to crush 2 cloves of garlic...grate the cheese...
step 2
saute onions carrot celery and garlic in olive oil..add tomato paste and chopped tomatoes.....let it simmer for ten minutes....i didnt add carrots and celery which was in the original as i didnt have them at home...i added coriander instead...and added ginger chilly paste too as i found the sauce too bland...add dried oregano or italian seasoning mix to the sauce
i shallow fried the egg plant pieces in olive oil till they were golden brown....basically till they were well cooked and knife went thru easily
the end result : YUMMY :)
cover the base of pan with red sauce...then arrange egg plant pieces over it...again put a layer of sauce and cheese...repeat...the last layer should always be of red sauce and cheese
enjoy with garlic bread....spagetti or pasta......or just bread and butter
