Cook eggplants over a medium barbecue grill or in a hot oven (200°C fan-forced/220°C conventional) until blackened and softened. Halve, scoop out flesh, then set aside. Blacken tomatoes lightly, then chop into pieces.
Fry onions in 3/4 of the oil in a wide saucepan on medium heat for 5 minutes, until softened. Add garlic, ginger and turmeric, cook briefly, then mix in tomatoes and spices. Season
