I tried this recipe without the onions (as I’m not a fan)and found it didn’t add a great deal to my usual raita, but it was worth giving it a go. It’s also not a dish that can hang around in the fridge for a day or more, as the aubergine tends to release it’s purple juices – it’s just a cosmetic problem, and it can be mixed in before serving again, but having said that its better to start off with a thick yoghurt in the first place, or making just enough for one meal.

I think the subzi raitha idea is great btw, gotta try it!

All the best, Milday

Hi Hetal and Anuja! Thanks, this recipe is one of my favourites! I also make it in a slightly different way, make a marinade with oil,mixed dried herbs, garlic paste and some chilly paste. Pour over the sliced aubergines, and bake it together with some chopped peppers and onions. Then have this with yogurt (with salt, black pepper)…yum!
