This recipe is just okay. The eggplant caviar is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my eggplant caviar turned out really bitter. I followed the recipe exactly, but I think I might have overcooked the eggplant. I'll try it again soon and see if I can get it right.
