You make chicken, paneer, fish tikka masala but did you try making this eggplant tikka masala? I never tried before but since I saw it at Reva's page Easy Yummy Cookery, I was eager to try that. So when I get a chance to make it , I made it and loved it. It has all those yummy flavors of tikka dish but very healthy with eggplant in it. Check out her space too, she has an awesome other dishes too.

3 tbsp thick curd
2 cloves chopped garlic

In a bowl, mix all the ingredients under marinade and add those eggplants in it.
Marinade for good 2 hours.
Heat a 2 tbsp oil in pan, add those marinated eggplant pieces and cook till all marinade evaporate and eggplant get cooked. keep it aside.
For gravy, Heat a pan and add 2 tbsp. oil , when its hot, add cumin seeds, let it brown and then add onion. cook till its nice and little brown. Add Ginger , garlic , chili paste along with tomato and puree both.
