Eggplant goreng dip with emping crackers

Visually stunning starter plated on banana leaf - just look at that vibrant splash of chili powder on belinjo crackers! A tad reminiscent of baba ganoush, but make it Southeast Asian, is the dip: textured mush of aubergine with fresh coriander (would have loved more #evilweed) and zesty squeezy lime. You can imagine how good it tasted. Thanks to @vikas and fellow @abillion members for such a splendid time out last Thursday... wait, that's literally #throwbackthursday. 😏

Loved this starter. The eggplant which was a dip was yummy.

For me this was the best dish of the meal because I hugely love emping crackers and this was a cute and creative way to serve them..with a fried eggplant dip! The eggplant was cooked deliciously and had loads of flavour. Squeeze in the lime and oh it's divine!
