Background

This spiced aubergine raita is not only super easy to make but can be served as a starter or a dip; alternatively a sauce over kebabs, salads or grilled veggies. I made it with out yoghurt so it’s vegan too. Baking/grilling the aubergine can be done well ahead.

Ingredients

1 aubergine
1 chilli pepper
1 tsp cumin seeds, dry-roasted
1 clove of garlic, chopped
½ red onion or 1 shallot, peeled and chopped
3 Tbsp yoghurt or plant-based yoghurt
1 handful mint leaves
½ lemon, juiced
Salt&pepper

Instructions

Put the aubergine and chilli in the oven or on a griddle pan, BBQ and cook until the aubergine is soft and the chilli is charred.
Let them cool, then remove their skins. Remove the seeds of the chilli.
Put the cooled flesh of the aubergine and chilli into a small food processor, add the cumin seeds, mint leaves, garlic and onion and about 2 or 3 Tbsp of yoghurt.
Whiz until creamy and add more yoghurt if it’s too thick. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve with naan bread.
