~Roasted Eggplant~
Also known as Baigan Choka in Trinidad and Guyana. This roasted mashed eggplant is one of my favourite eggplant dishes. It is loaded with garlic and other fresh seasonings and roasted on an open flame to give the dish it’s signature Smokey flavour.

Then, the roasted eggplant flesh is carefully collected and mashed. It is then sautéed in coconut oil along with tomatoes, onion, garlic and chives i. This delicious mashed eggplant dish can be enjoyed with roti or any flatbread.
