🍽️ Serving Suggestions

Add edamame, crispy tofu or a soft-boiled egg for extra protein. The aubergine is also delicious tucked into warm flatbreads.

💛 Why This Recipe Works

Cornflour helps the aubergine brown and gives the sauce something to cling to, creating a sticky finish without deep frying.
