Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter, then add the onions and green chillies and saute until golden.
Add the ginger garlic paste and cook for a minute until the raw smell goes.
Add the tomatoes and cook until soft and oil begins to separate.
Stir in the turmeric, red chilli, coriander powder and salt, then add the drained eggplant.
Cover and cook on low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant is tender.
