2 large eggplants -- (or 8 small eggplants)

2 tablespoons water

2 onions -- peeled and finely chopped

4 cloves garlic -- peeled and minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger root -- minced

2 green chiles -- or jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon salt -- 1/2 " cubes

1 cup fresh peas -- cooked, or 1 10-ounce package frozen peas,

thawed and cooked

3 ripe tomatoes -- peeled and chopped

4 tablespoons soy milk

2 tablespoons cilantro -- chopped

 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

 

Prick each eggplant with a fork in two or three places. On a baking sheet lined

with aluminum foil, arrange the eggplants. Bake for 30 to 35 mintues until the

eggplants are tender and the skin begins to char. Let cook. Carefully peel

away and discard the skin. Chop the pulp coarsely and set aside.

 

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the water. Add the onions and garlic and

saute for 5 minutes. Add the ginger and green chilies, and cook for 2 more

minutes, until the onions are golden. Add the cumin, chili powder, salt, peas,

and tomatoes, and simmer over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the

mashed eggplant, soy milk, and chopped cilantro. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes,

until the flavors are well blended.

 

You can prepare this dish 2 days in advance. Refrigerate, then reheat before
