This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and chili and it was much better. The eggplant was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll add more spices next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. The eggplant was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll use less chili next time.
