How many servings?
- 3 eggplant
- 1 cup (200 ml) strained yogurt
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ tsp salt

Method
- Prick the eggplants and char them directly over the gas flame or under a grill, turning, for 12–15 minutes until the skins blacken and the flesh is soft.
- Cover them in a bowl for 5 minutes to steam, then peel.
