I don’t have much to say about this recipe, it mostly says for itself: eggplants and tomatoes – main ingredients β are good combination and garlic doesn’t make it any worse.
This recipe isn’t much hassle to prepare and ingredients don’t cost much; so you can easy get to advised 5 servings of vegetables per day and even enjoy it.
Eggplant rolls taste better while fresh, so prepare them right before serving.
Ingredients:

I make this all the time,my friend from Kyrgyzstan taught me the recipe. I dip the eggplants in beaten eggs and then fry them. It’s always a hit when I bring it to parties. Very Yummy!!! One of my favorites!!
I will try with beaten eggs next time π thanks for the idea!
I believe sourcream will work better than mayonnaise here, but its my humble opinion. A+++ recipe for summer, I love it!
I am a mayonnaise junkie… I would eat mayonnaise with mayonnaise if ppl around didn’t start complaining π
