PUNJABI EGGPLANT (BAINGAN BHARTA)
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Punjabi baingan ka bharta requires roasted eggplant. Roast eggplant on a gas cooktop by placing the eggplants straight over the burner(s) and keeping the flame on low setting. Keep turning and cooking until all the skin on the eggplant is charred and the inner flesh looks really soft, about 20 minutes; the eggplant will seem to 'cave in' on itself. Or, you can grill the eggplant in your oven broiler or on your barbecue grill. Again, keep turning periodically until all the skin on the eggplant is charred and the inner flesh looks really soft, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Once the eggplant is roasted, allow to cool fully and then peel off and discard the charred skin.
- Once cool, coarsely mash it and keep aside for later use.
- Place pan over medium heat and add the cooking oil. When hot, add the cumin seeds and cook till the spluttering stops.
- Add the onions and fry until soft and translucent.
- Add the garlic and the ginger and then fry for 1 minute.
- Add the tomatoes, optional green chiles, coriander, ground cumin, and garam masala. Stir well and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often to prevent the spice mix from sticking to the pan. Sprinkle a little water if needed.
- Add the eggplant and salt and mix well. Taste and add more salt if needed. Add the chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) and stir. Cook another minute and turn off the heat. Serve hot with chapatis or rice and your favorite daal dish.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Cook and stir the eggplant cubes until they begin to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the eggplant with a slotted spoon, and set aside.
- Heat 2 more tablespoons of oil in the skillet over medium-high heat, and cook and stir the onions just until they begin to soften, about 30 seconds. Stir in the garlic, and cook and stir an additional 30 seconds. Mix in the soy sauce, water, oyster sauce, chili garlic sauce, sugar, and black pepper, and stir to form a smooth sauce. Return the eggplant to the skillet, lower the heat, and allow the vegetables and sauce to simmer until the eggplant is tender and almost all the liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes. Drizzle sesame oil over the dish, and give one final brief stir to combine.

CHICKPEA DAAL (INDIAN)
This is my mother's recipe. There are variations throughout India and this is from Northern India (Punjab). It is actually a relatively easy recipe and can be left unattended for the majority of the time. Make sure to use the best and freshest ingredients available. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for a few days.

Steps:
- Wash chickpeas in water.
- Put chickpeas in fresh water with salt, two parts water to one part chickpeas.
- Leave overnight to soak.
- Put chickpeas (with water they were soaked in) into a large pot. Top up water to maintain 2 parts water to 1 part chickpea ratio if necessary. Bring water to a boil.
- Cover and turn down to medium (level 5) heat, skim off any white foam.
- Leave to simmer until chickpeas are tender, usually 2 or 3 hours.
- Take off heat.
- In a large pot, sauté onions and garlic on high heat, then turn down to (medium-high) level 8.
- When onions are thoroughly transparent put in ginger.
- Continue to sauté until mixture is sticking to bottom and brown bits are evident.
- Put onion mixture in a food processor and mix (not steadily) until smooth.
- Process tomato, 1/2 tomato portions at a time.
- Put mixture back into large pot.
- Add green onion.
- Heat should be at (medium-high) level 8.
- When mixture starts to bubble add tomato paste.
- Stir for 1 to 2 minutes until butter is released and mixture does not stick to pot.
- Add in potatoes.
- Add in chana masala.
- Reduce heat to level 7.
- Put in chickpeas with a slotted spoon.
- Water is NOT put in, but put aside for later.
- Mix for about 2 minutes Add in red pepper, masala.
- Mix for a further 2 minutes.
- Add water from chickpeas, additional water can be added to give mixture a watery consistency (mixture should not be too thick looking initially, as mixture will reduce, usually you can add in another cup of water).
- Add turmeric.
- Bring mixture to a boiling point on max heat, then reduce heat to level 7. Cover partially and mix infrequently.
- Once potatoes are tender, the daal is done.
- This daal is typically eaten with Indian bread- naan or chapati.
- As with most Indian cooking there is no"true" recipe, the cook decides what the recipe needs (somewhat of a hit and miss strategy, but it works).
- If you are unable to find garam masala the following can be used: 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon cracked dried bay leaves, and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves.
