Directions:

  1. For the chips.

  4. Place the dried chips in a wire basket and in batches of about a handful, plunge into the hot oil and cook for about 90 seconds until crisp and golden.
  5. The timing will depend on the temperature of the oil and the thickness of the chips.

  7. Drain well and sprinkle with a little salt.

  9. Bake the eggplant at 180°C until very tender.

  12. Near the end of the cooking process add the finely chopped garlic and chilli.
  13. Take the cooked eggplant and scoop out all the flesh, discarding the skin and stem.
  14. Place the eggplant flesh in a bowl and gently stir to break it up.
