I'm not a huge fan of eggplant, but this dish was surprisingly good! The yogurt sauce really helped to balance out the smokiness of the eggplant.

This dish was a bit too smoky for my taste, but my husband loved it! He said it reminded him of his childhood in Iran.

This Boranie Bademjan was a hit at my dinner party! The combination of roasted eggplant, yogurt, and garlic was divine. The texture was creamy and smooth, with a hint of smokiness from the roasted eggplant.
