Once the eggplant is charred add in onions, garlic, turmeric, salt and let these spices roast for a bit as you mix it.

7. Open the pot and turn to Sauté to get rid of some water if needed. It will thicken as it cools. 8. Add liquid smoke and stir well, garnish with cilantro and serve with naan. 9. If you are not fond of eggplant or spicy food, I'd suggest mixing in a little greek yogurt or sour cream to soften the taste.
