Spiced Eggplant Dip

Apart from steaming, charring eggplant over flame is a great way to cook it. You get that charred flavour while  the inside steams and softens.

Now, cook up an addictive Indian spiced mira pour of onions, garlic, ginger, green chillies and spices and toss that through the cooked eggplant and you will go in for 2nds, 3rds, 4ths ‘till there is nothing left.
