Allow the roasted eggplant to cool, then peel off the skin and mash the flesh.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, cooking until they start to pop, about 1-2 minutes.

Stir in chopped onions, cooking until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Add minced garlic, ginger, and green chili, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Mix in chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt, cooking until tomatoes soften, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the mashed eggplant to the mixture, stirring well to combine.

Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

Stir in garam masala and fresh coriander leaves, cooking for another 2 minutes.

Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
