Steps:
- Preheat the oven's broiler. Rub oil on the outside of the egg plant, or coat with cooking spray. Place under the broiler, and cook until the flesh is soft and the skin is blistering off, about 30 minutes. Turn as needed for even cooking. Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise, and scoop the flesh out of the skin. Discard the skin; chop up the flesh, and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds, and let them crackle for a few seconds and turn golden brown. Be careful not to burn them. Add the onion, ginger and garlic; cook and stir until tender. I don't let the onions get very brown. Stir in the tomato, and season with turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Cook and stir for a few minutes.
- Place the eggplant pieces in the skillet, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes so some of the moisture evaporates. Taste, and adjust seasonings if desired. Garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give you the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy eggs from a local farm or farmers market.
- Don't overcook the eggs: Egg bhujia is a quick-cooking dish, so be careful not to overcook the eggs. Overcooked eggs will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help to prevent the eggs from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned wok or skillet, you can season it by rubbing it with a little oil and heating it over medium heat for a few minutes.
- Add the vegetables last: The vegetables should be added last so that they don't overcook. Vegetables like onions, tomatoes, and peppers should be cooked for just a few minutes until they are tender-crisp.
- Serve immediately: Egg bhujia is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to preserve the flavor and texture of the dish.
Conclusion:
Egg bhujia is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It is a great way to use up leftover eggs and vegetables. With its simple ingredients and quick cooking time, egg bhujia is a great choice for busy weeknight dinners.
