Directions

  1. Slice the eggplants thinly, based on your preference. Fry the slices in a pan until golden brown, then set them aside. In a bowl, mix the minced meat with 2 teaspoons of chopped coriander leaves, 1 finely chopped chili pepper, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of turmeric. Wrap the seasoned meat mixture around the fried eggplant slices.

  2. Heat some oil in a pan and sauté ginger paste, garlic paste, and onion paste until fragrant. Add the wrapped eggplant and cover the pan with a lid. After a few minutes, pour in 50ml of water and stir in the tomato paste. Mix well, then add olives (if using) and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and serve hot.
