This is very nice. The only thing I would change (maybe my yoghurt wasn't thick enough!) is to blend the eggplant mixture without the yoghur, then stir it into the yoghurt. Mine turned out a bit soup like!

Living in Australia means we get to savour different cuisines and it's so much fun trying new things, only sometimes no-one else wants to try them with me:( I like music, art, singing (much to the chagrin of those around me), hiking, writing and most definitely shopping!
