Turn the eggplant occasionally so that all sides get cooked. The eggplant is done when you stick a knife in it and it is easily pierced. Remove from burner and allow to cool for a few minutes. Then peel off the blackened skin, remove stem and mash or chop up eggplant. In non-stick pot put oil on medium heat. Add mustard seed and let them pop. Then add cumin and roast for a few seconds.
