The Golden Rule
"Never rush the spice-blooming stage in the pot; frying the dry spices for a full 3 minutes burns off raw harshness and unlocks the deep, dormant essential oils."

Chef's Notes
Pay close attention to the eggplant roasting phase; under-roasting leaves them rubbery, while over-roasting turns them into puree before they even meet the curry base. Treat them with respect, and they will reward you with silkiness.
Pro Tip
When the mustard seeds pop in the hot oil, do not panic! Simply place a splatter guard over the pot or step back slightly while maintaining your kitchen composure.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Beware of treating your eggplant batons like fragile glass during the final simmer, or you will inadvertently conjure a grey, unholy mush that looks less like a royal South Indian curry and more like industrial-grade wallpaper paste.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the court gardener for more eggplant, and he told me I should have planted them myself instead of wearing a crown. How unhelpful!
The Culinary Science
Roasting eggplant at high heat triggers the Maillard reaction, breaking down complex cell structures and developing deep, savory umami flavors that boiling simply cannot achieve.
