may i know tahini paste? how to make it and what accompaniment will go with this dish? thanks
Awesome dish dear...looks simply delicious with the olive oil on top :)
Brother Shaikh, tahini paste is nothing but a paste of grounded sesmae seeds,which are lightly roasted.
And Baba Ghanoush is an appetizer or a starter.And also can be served with Naan or roti as a side dish. Hope I answered your question.
