hey there,just some tips for the eggplants:u need to get a smoky taste,so I suggest u should try to wrap them in aluminium foil and grill them on the burners!and i guess u got mixed up with the quantities,it should be 2 spoons of yogurt and 1/2 cup of tahina. I add some cumin and never seen alshawam adding pepper(by the way i've lived in Syria for 5 years).

no i didn't get mixed up, it's the way i like it, cuz the qty. really depends on your taste, i prefer more yogurt and less tahina.
thanks for your tips, and your notes are always welcomed!
