Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Wash the eggplants and pat dry. Puncture the skin in several places with a fork. Place on an ungreased pan and bake for about 25 minutes, turning, until the skin is blistered and shriveled. Remove from oven and cool for a few minutes, until easy to handle.
- 2. While the eggplants are roasting, pulse the garlic, walnuts, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil together in a food processor until ground and pastelike.
- 3. Cut off the stem and cut the eggplant in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scrape out the pulp, discarding as many of the seeds as possible. Add the eggplant, a little at a time, to the bowl of the food processor and pulse on and off. Add the lemon juice, vinegar, and remaining olive oil and pulse until well combined. The eggplant puree does not have to be perfectly smooth. Season with salt and add a bit of sugar if necessary, as eggplants sometimes impart a trace of bitterness.

EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) CAVIAR
An old favorite in Russia, this dish calls for large purple-globe eggplants. Instead of cooking them over an open flame as described below, you can use the oven: Place the eggplants in shallow baking pan, and place under the broiler. Broil, turning every 5 minutes, until skin is blackened all over and the flesh is falling-apart tender, twenty to thirty minutes. Found this on Martha Stewart's website.

Steps:
- Wash aubergine and dry it. Stick it firmly on a skewer or fork and roast over a gas flame. Leave it over the flame until a side of it chars black, turning it to ensure all of the aubergine chars black. You will know it is cooked as it will leak fluid and become soft. Insert a knife into it to check if it slides in easily, if it does not, cook it more on that side. When it is cooked, carefully transfer to a bowl. Let it cool.
- You could roast the whole aubergine in the oven, but it will totally lack the lovely smoky flavour. Alternatively, you could roast in on a barbecue.
- When the aubergine is cool enough to handle, carefully peel off the charred skin. It should come away easily, but if tiny bits of the skin remain, don't worry, it adds to the flavour! Chop up the flesh and mash it slightly with a potato masher. Keep some texture.
- Heat oil in a frying pan and add onions. Cook on a low heat, stirring often until the onions turn golden and caramalise.
- Add the garlic and ginger and chillies and cook for 3 minutes on a medium heat.
- Add the curry powder (if using), butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Finally add the chopped coriander, spring onions and lemon juice. Swirl with yogurt and serve with pitta bread crisped in the oven.
