#globalcuisine - Baba Ganoush is a delicious smoky eggplant dip, that is very popular in Middle Eastern countries. Roasted eggplants are blended with tahini paste or sesame seeds, olive oil and few other seasonings. It is traditionally served with Khubz (Arabic pita bread).
But they also tastes great with crackers, veggie crudites, our very own paratha, naan, roasted papad or as a spread on sandwiches. Excellent with any appetizers or snacks as they are far healthier to any store bought sauces and ketchup.
