    It's a matter of taste but it's not necessary to salt the eggplant and soak it in water, for those interested in low sodium dishes or wanting to see what eggplant really tastes like. A chef on a cooking show I recently watched advised against it. - 1/22/10

    Really good! I salted the eggplant then rinsed really well and baked it rather than saute; sauteed onions in a bit of low sodium broth; used low sodium tomatoes and didn't add any more salt (there's enough for us in the eggplant and chick peas). Cut fat and sodium way down. - 5/20/11

    I'll prepare this recipe in the summer, when I'll have tons of fresh tomatoes (and hopefully my home-grown eggplants!), and also add some bell pepper, jalapeņo, and touch of curry paste for the heat. - 1/22/10
