Spicy Aubergine Bake Thingy
I bought two really funky stripy aubergines, but then wasn’t sure what to do with them. So I looked around my kitchen and invented this dish which I call, “Titli’s Spicy Aubergine Bake Thingy”. Never let it be said that I am not creative! :-)

Titli's Tips
I find that I don’t need treat the aubergines with salt before I add them to the pan. The lentils provide a degree of sourness to the dish which overwhelms any sourness from the aubergine.
