Ingredients
  

  • 1 large aubergine (eggplant) sliced into 1/2 inch thick rounds
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 3/4 tsp ground sumac
  • 2 tsp garlic powder or granules
  • 1 tsp baharat
  • Vegetable oil for frying

For topping

  • Pomegranate seeds
  • My Yoghurt Tahini Sauce
  • Coriander chopped

Instructions
 

  • If you haven't already, slice the aubergine into 1/2 inch thick pieces and place in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the 1 tbsp vegetable oil, cumin, baharat, ground sumac, garlic powder and salt. Pour this mixture over the aubergine and toss to combine so that all the pieces are coated.
  • Add vegetable oil to a large, deep pan so it's 1cm filled. Turn the heat up to medium-high.
  • Once hot, add in the aubergine pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes each side, so that both sides are golden and crispy. You may need to do this in 2 batches. Remove and place onto kitchen towel to drain the oil. Serve with my Yoghurt Tahini sauce and pomegranate seeds.
