Cut the stems from the eggplants & leave peel. Slice

remaining slices. As oil drains out of eggplant,
return this to the pan & add onions. Fry gently till
translucent. Remove to another plate. Place a layer
of eggplant back into the pan. Top with some sliced
onion, green pepper rings & tomato slices. Repeat
using remaining ingredients & adding a little salt &
the chili between layers. Pour in any remaining oil
from the eggplant. Add onion & water, cover & simmer
gently for 10-15 minutes. Combine chakah ingredients &
spread half the sauce into base of serving dish. Top
with vegetables, lifting eggplant gently to keep
slices intact. Leave some of the juices in the pan.
Top vegetables with the rest of the chakah & drizzle
the remaining juices over it. Serve with flat bread.
