Cook Linguine according to package directions. Add 1 teaspoon oil and 1 teaspoon salt in the water in which linguine is cooked.

In the meanwhile, place a non-stick deep frypan on medium heat.
Step 3
Add 6 tablespoons of oil. When oil is hot, add mustard seeds. When they start crackling add the urad dahl and channa dahl.
Step 4
Stir fry. When the dahls are golden brown, add the green chillies and onion. Mix well and cook for 3 minutes or until onion is cooked.

Step 6
Add the eggplant and 1/2 teaspon salt. Stir fry until eggplant is cooked but firm. Do not overcook and make the eggplant mushy.
