For the fritters: Mix together the eggplant, onions, lentils, egg, flour, and spices.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Form the fritter mix into 8 patties, and sauté in batches for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with celery salt.
Once the fritters are done, add the remaining 1/2 tbsp oil to the pan then add the mustard seed and peppercorns. Once the mustard seeds start to pop, add the tomatoes and chile garlic sauce (hint: have the tomatoes opened and ready to go in - once the mustard seeds start to pop, they will go all over the place!). Cook for a few minutes to heat through. Put the sauce in the blender and purée.
