Recipe

Rub the eggplant with a little mustard oil and roast it directly over an open flame until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft and cooked through.

Allow the roasted eggplant to cool slightly, then peel off the charred skin and mash the pulp thoroughly in a mixing bowl.

Add the finely chopped onions, garlic, green chilies, and fresh coriander leaves to the mashed eggplant.

Drizzle the raw mustard oil over the mixture and season with salt to taste.

Mix everything together vigorously to blend the pungent flavors and serve warm with freshly prepared wheat rotis.
