Usually the eggplant used in this dish is deep fried, but I tried cooking it another way to cut down on the calories.

Bring out the fragrance of the garlic in olive oil by sautéing it slowly over low heat.
Eggplant absorbs a lot of oil. If you sprinkle it with salt first and cook it with a lid on using its water, you can cut down on oil.
Add chili pepper to the tomato sauce to taste. For 2 servings. Recipe by Arsinda
