tomato paste, one spoon
medium onions, 2
dried mint, 2 spoons (or 200 grams of fresh mint)

Directions:


Peel eggplants and slice length-wise to a thickness of 1 cm. Add salt

a cup of hot water to one spoon of tomato paste and mix well. Add to
eggplants and cook over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes.


Peel onions and slice thinly. Fry in oil until golden. Also fry dried
