Grilled Aubergine or Aubergine Caviar

Aubergine, Bringal, Eggplant or Baingan in Hindi. In India it is considered at "The king of Vegetables" and I happen to agree. In my family we all love Aubergine whether its Aloo-Baingan, Bhairwa-Baingan, Baingan ka Bhurta, the Italian Parmigiana, the Greek Moussaka or my simple Aubergine Caviar!!! so we call it at home.

This recipe is inspired by the Indian Baingan Ka Bhurta. It tastes so good and can't get simple than this.

Here is what you will need:

1. three medium sized aubergines
2. garlic cloves 3-4
3. 1 green chili or to taste
4. salt to taste
5. handful of fresh coriander/basil
6. olive oil
