Hi there!
My husband and I am a big fan of Arabic cuisine. My husband grew up in Kuwait and knows what Arabic cuisine is and taste like. I am still new to the taste. There are some awesome recipes in your website. I was salivating while reading your blog and looking at the pictures. I have tons of recipes from your blog that I need to try. The Ramadan specials also look really good. Insha allah I will be making them.
Thanks for sharing this recipe which I will definitely try as I'd like to compare the taste to our baigan choka which is similar minus the tahini paste, yogurt and lemon juice. This sounds so good!
My comfort food,
Thank you for your nice comment and I hope to see you again!
Cynthia,
I know if you try it you will love it,it will be so good with your Sada roti bread.

I lived in Riyadh for sixteen years growing up, so seeing all these recipes really brings back memories! Thanks so much for posting them!
I have to ask: do you have a recipe for the chunky eggplant dip? I thought it was called baba ghanoush, but your recipe here calls for pureeing the eggplant. Thanks!
