Road Trip to Debe Or visit one of the big mosques during Ramadan at sunset on a friendly cultural exchange visit of some kind and scope out the goodies.
Sticks – Cut the eggplant lengthwise about 1″ wide, 1/2″ thick instead of sliced rounds and put that in the batter/dough/paste. That way it fries up like an aloo pie shape, and people treat it like that – fill with channa, chutney etc.

Girl, I saw this picture and practically made the Homer Simpson drooling noise. Mmmmm…. you took me back to my girlhood days with this one. I haven’t made this ever myself — my auntie Opal always used to make it for me. I’m totally going to treat myself this weekend. And CONGRATS on the Black Weblog Award! You got the Judges Vote!!

you’ve never had baiganee!!! :-O
traditionally we made it sliced in rounds like this, and sometimes in batter like pholourie, and sometimes in actual ground peas (like falafel or tradiitonal kachorie). Those people in Debe make baigan sticks for the baiganee – makes it easier to fill with channa and chutney when it shape like an aloo pie.
