Ingredients

  • ¾ cup walnuts

  • 1 eggplant

  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying

  • 2 cups plain yogurt

  • 1 minced hot green chile peppers

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

  • salt to taste

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place walnuts on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the smell of the nuts fills the kitchen.

  2. Cut eggplant into 1/2 inch thick rings, and soak in salted water for 15 minutes.

  3. Heat oil in a heavy pan or deep fryer to 365 degrees F (170 degrees C). Slide eggplant into hot oil, and deep fry until golden brown. Fry in batches to maintain oil temperature. Remove from oil, drain, and cool.

  4. In a medium bowl, mix together yogurt, green chile peppers, 1 tablespoon cilantro, and walnuts. Season to taste with salt. Chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  5. Place eggplant rings in a serving dish, and spoon dressing evenly over top. Garnish with red pepper and remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro.
