Cut the eggplant into bite size pieces and soak in salted water for a few minutes. Drain and keep aside. Heat the oil and add the mustard seeds and chana dal. When the seeds start to sputter, add the eggplant pieces and mix well so that they are well-coated with oil and fry on a medium flame until cooked. Add salt and red chili powder and stir.
