An important point in preparing this Arabic appetizer: the eggplants must be baked over an open fire so that the aroma of smoke generously permeates the pulp. If you only have an oven and an electric grill at hand, the effect of "smoky food " can be enhanced with smoked paprika, this is the advice of Maxim Lyubimov, chef of the Rostov restaurant Leo Wine & Kitchen. Cumin, coriander and caraway add the necessary Maghreb accent. Just before adding to the dish, be sure to fry the cumin in a hot frying pan - this way its thick, slightly metallic smell will be brighter.
