This dish was not to my taste. The eggplant was too oily and the sauce was too sweet.

The eggplant was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try cooking the eggplant for a shorter amount of time next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll try making it again with less chili peppers next time.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I used a bit less oil than the recipe called for, and it was still plenty oily. I served it with rice, and it was a hit with my family.

I love this dish! The eggplant is always cooked perfectly, and the sauce is so flavorful. I always make a double batch because it never lasts long.
