Cooking Directions
In a mortar and pestle, crush green chilli, coriander and mint. Add yogurt and mix. Season with some salt.
Grill aubergine on naked fire until its skin starts blistering and it gets extra soft and watery from inside. (use tongs to change sides)
Remove from flame and put it on a plate. Now holding one side with tongs start scraping the burnt skin with a sharp knife. Take off all the skin.
