Peel the bell pepper and chili pepper from the seeds and stalks, cut them arbitrarily. Cut the tomatoes into pieces. Put the vegetables through a meat grinder.
Wash the eggplants under running water, put them in a cooking pot and pour a mass of chopped tomatoes and pepper. Add salt, sugar and vegetable oil. Bring the mass to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer the workpiece for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
