Notes
TipsTip 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.
