- To taste Red Pepper Flakes
- 4 Sticks Onions
Preparation
- Prepare the eggplants for grilling by pricking them all over with a fork.
- This is so it won’t burst during the grilling process as the natural water in it heats up.
- Grill the eggplants, turning them over frequently to ensure even cooking.
- Grill until the skins are dark brown, even black and the eggplant is soft when you touch it.
- Soak the grilled eggplant in a bowl of water to cool it down.
- Peel the skin off the eggplant.
- Place the whole eggplants in a shallow dish (my mom actually cuts the eggplant into small, bite-sized pieces).
- In a small mixing bowl, mix together the coconut milk or cream, lemon powder, salt and hot pepper.
- Mix until the lemon powder and salt dissolve.
- Taste, then adjust the amount of lemon powder, salt and hot pepper to your liking.
- Pour the mixture over the eggplant.
- Sprinkle the green onions over the eggplant and coconut milk.
- Stir gently to combine.
