Baba Ghanoush/ Eggplant Dip

All ingredients for 1 large Baingan/eggplant ( however saying that the garlic wont increase thaaat much for each baingan added, apologies but some andaz will have to be used). Is delicious with pita bread.

Roast a large Baingan ( or 2 or 3 depending on amount you need) like for Baingan ka bharta on the fire.
Take the pulp out and add a small bit,(say a little less than one inch square) of the burnt part to give a smokey taste.
Mash a whole large pod of garlic.
Roast a table spoon of til/ seasme seeds and grind it in the mixie/ or a teaspoon of seasame paste/tahini
Put the baingan, garlic, til, and a table spoon of olive oil in the mixie ( small container) and give it a very quick spin :) ( like literally 3 secs, it pulverises very fast).The oil will make it go white ( the Baingan colour will change)
Lastly squeeze a lime, grind pepper put some salt and a dash more of oil and give it another very short spin.

cest fini! enjoy...:)
