• Apply salt on both sides of it and keep it aside for 5-10 min and then wash it with drinkable water. This is an optional step to remove bitterness of eggplant. If your child is younger than 1 year, you should skip it as salt is not advisable. Read post Just Parented: Introducing solid food to your child to know more. 

In the mean time you can chop your veggies by hand on in vegetable chopper. I used tomato, onion and capsicum.

Chopped veggies
