This is one recipe I’ve watched my mother make countless times while growing up. Back in Nigeria, she would wake up as early as 5am to make this, so that we’d be able to have lunch in school. I’ve fallen in love with dish over and over again. No matter how much I tried recreating this recipe, it never tasted like my mom’s because “mama’s magical hands just makes the food more delicious”. This quick fix recipe is all I need to prove to you that Eggplant can be eaten in different ways. Let’s get cooking.
