Notes & Variations
- Popping cumin seeds in almost any kind of fat opens up their flavor tremendously. Be careful not to let them get too dark a brown or black or they will taste bitter and ruin the taste of the eggplant.
- Substitute ghee for olive oil or any oil of your choice.
- To kick it up a notch, add 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts to the mixture with the currants at the end.
- Delicious as a side dish with grilled beef or lamb kebabs.
- If you do not have a gas stove or a grill, I would recommend not preparing this dish, as the smokiness contributes to the flavor considerably.
