Post up your favorite food / recipe. I'll eat just about anything, as long

do you like eggplant? Here is something called bygan chokka

1 eggplant roasted on an open fire
scarpe the skin off after it is blacken from the heat.
Place the insides in shallow bowl.
Chop onions tomatoes fine and add to the bowl. Sprinkle salt and black
pepper. Locals like to use hot pepper for that spicy flavor. separately
heat skillet with teaspoon of oil and drop a clove of garlic and cook
until black. remove garlic and pour oil over eggplant mix. stir
slightly.

this is great with Sad roti but pita bread goes just as well.

it's a local east indian dish mainly consumed for breakfast

Sounds easy enough. Next time I've got a spare egg plant laying around,
we'll give it a go. Since my mouth is now almost 100% asbestos, I'll opt for
the hot peppers too.
