400-500ml hot water

Halve the white eggplants, season with salt, put them in a colander and let them drain for 20-30 minutes, the longer the better. Then rinse and dry.

In the meantime, heat the oil and ghee in a saucepan and fry the chopped onion in it.
Peel and slice the carrots.

Then remove everything from the heat and add the aubergine halves.
For the yogurt, simply mix all the spices in a bowl with 1 teaspoon of oil and stir in the yogurt.

Tips

Tip 1: we used plum-sized white eggplants.
Tip 2: simply cut normal aubergines into rings and do the same.
Tip 3: you can also use date syrup instead of sugar.
Tip 4: Flatbread and / or fresh coriander / chervil go well with it.
Tip 5: adjust the amount of water so that the consistency is a little thick.
