Baba ghanoush (लेबनीज भरीत)

1 large eggplant (one used for Bharta)
2 cloves of garlic (as per taste) chopped
3-4 tbsp of olive oil ( + for garnishing)
4 tbsp of lightly roasted sesame seeds
Juice of 1/2 lemon
salt to taste
1/2 tomato chopped finely and pinch of chilli powder.

Method:
1. Grill the eggplant as we do it for Bharta
2. Immediately cover it with a big bowl. This helps it cool down and the skin comes off easily
3. Remove the skin and cut into large chunks. You can remove some chunks of seeds.
4. Add sesame into the mixer and blend till it is almost a paste.
5. Add olive oil and mix it well with spoon. Blend again till you get a paste.
6. Add eggplant, garlic, lemon juce and salt.
7. Blend till it becomes a smooth mixture.
8. For serving, take it in a bowl, make and indent and add oilve oil. Sprinkle chilli powder and decorate with tomatoes.
