VERDICT
WILL: This is my favorite dish, but it can be quite tedious to prepare. As you can see, you need to grill, peel, and then fry the eggplant, and finally, you can enjoy the fruits of your labor.

However, these steps won't deter us. The smoky flavor, the mushy texture, and the spiciness of your ketchup/chili will bring bliss. Thanks, Abey, for putting in the effort to cook this. It's so delicious!
