Como fazer Masala Stuffed Eggplant

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and halve 2 large eggplants lengthwise. Score the flesh in a crosshatch pattern, taking care not to cut through the skin.
Generously salt the eggplant halves and place them cut-side up on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Let them sit for 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
While the eggplant drains, prepare the filling. Sauté 1 medium chopped onion in 2 tablespoons of oil until softened. Add 1 inch ginger (grated), 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. Cook for 2 minutes.
Stir in 1 cup cooked lentils, 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped cashews (optional), and salt to taste. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Pat the eggplant halves dry with paper towels. Spoon the masala filling into the scored eggplant halves.
Place the stuffed eggplants in a baking dish. Add 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the dish.
Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and the filling is heated through. You may need to add more water halfway through if the dish dries out.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot. Enjoy this unforgettable vegetarian masterpiece!
