Firstly: Slit half the Eggplants from its 4 sides, ensuring not to slit open completely- In the slitted space, put in some Garlic Pods & green chillies to get charred along with the Eggplant as well- Apply some oil all over its body before roasting it evenly on the normal oven or you can choose to roast it in your microwave too, following the same procedures- (I prefer the earlier method though)

Next: Peel off the charred dry skins from the eggplant & mash it well, remove the seeds (if any)- Set Aside
Get ready with rest of the aforesaid ingredients as well-
Before skinning the eggplant, remove the charred garlic pods & green chillies separately into a plate/dish & mash along with the eggplant post skinning it nicely & evenly

Then, heat up a frying pan over the medium flame: Add in the cooking oil to it- Drop in it the chopped onions & a few more chopped green chillies (depending on how much spicy you want it to be)- Continue sautéing until the raw smell goes off & it’s nicely sautéed

Next: Add in the seasonings or adjust if the need be so- In goes the rest all other spices/ingredients mentioned above, mixing everything nicely well together until nicely combined and well blended to be properly infused with & well incorporated- Sauté until you can see the oil is released to the surface of the pan

Once that’s done ✅ Turning off the flame allow it to rest on the hot oven for another 5-8 mins time before serving hot- Garnish it with some more finely chopped coriander leaves, olive oil-
If you’re using the eggs, then scramble the eggs separately into another frying pan & later on sprinkle the same on the top of this prepared Zaalouk Dish

It’s absolutely ready to be served hot now with any types of Indian/Middle Eastern Breads or Hot Steamed Rice or Pilaf or similar-
RELISH…..
