#eggplant

The other day in one of the magazines, there was a story about an incredible Afghani eggplant dish. And we do like an eggplant in our family. The writer was going on and on about how great it is but no recipe. I saved the story and went on a search. What did I discover? It was one of the dishes I made for our radio station dinner but did not get a chance to try — I have such hard time eating when cooking for big groups. Made it again for a smaller gathering and finally had some leftovers on the day after. And it was so so good! The recipe for Borani Banian comes from the excellent book Pakistan by Maryam Jillani. I love food from this area of the world and this book is a treasure throve with ideas. Here, fried slices of an eggplant are sandwiched between tomato sauce flavored with garlic, onions, Kashmiri powder, turmeric, and mint and yogurt spiked with lemon. Sounds simple but when it is put together it is crazy addictive. #food #cooking #pakistanifood #eggplant #inmykitchen
