Amara is a writer, and writing is her passion. In her free time she loves to cook for her family.

Eggplant is a very nutritious vegetable that is rich in fiber, vitamins, antioxidants and other essential minerals. It helps promote good heart health, blood cholesterol levels and eye health.

Eggplant can be served either as an appetizer or a main course dish. This particular baked eggplant recipe is very delicious, and it's quick and easy to prepare, as well.

Salam Amara,

We have grown eggplants in our garden. But honestly speaking, I always try to skip them. You have shared a unique recipe of eggplant. Have you ever eaten bangen with curd? It becomes super delusions in combination with dahi (curd).

Miebakagh Fiberesima from Port Harcourt, Rivers State, NIGERIA. on June 26, 2021:

I like the meal.

Rawan Osama from Egypt on June 26, 2021:

Stay safe and healthy, dear sister.

Chitrangada Sharan from New Delhi, India on June 26, 2021:

This sounds delicious!

Baigan or egg plant is one of my favorite food, and there are so many ways, we can prepare it!

I liked this variation very much and would try this!

Thank you for sharing this with helpful pictures and instructions!

Allah bless you too, dear sister. This recipe is really very interesting and different for me. I have always thought we can just make bengan ka bharta (name of a Pakistani dish) or Aloo bengan ( Eggplant with Potatoes) out of bengan (Eggplant)

When I use to make something different with Eggplant I just make fritters. Lol! It means I am bad at cooking. Lol! Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe, dear sister
