1 teaspoon salt
1/3 c water

Here is how you make Indian Stuffed Eggplant:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp and seeds to create a pocket on the inside of each half. To remove excess bitterness, generously salt the inside of the cut eggplant and let sit in a colander for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse well to remove all the salt and then continue with the recipe.Put 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the onion and ginger and cook for 4 minutes, or until the onion is soft and golden. Add the tomato, bay leaf, curry powder, garam masala, mustard seeds, ground turmeric and season with salt. Cook the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the water and let it cook down. Let cool slightly and then spoon into eggplant. Close the eggplant around the stuffing and tie with string. Put the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a clean skillet and place over medium heat. Brown the stuffed eggplant on all sides and then place them on a baking sheet. Bake until tender, about 15 minutes. Serve with plain yogurt an other cooling vegetables like tomato or cucumber.
