Eggplant Raita/Dip (Whole30)
The Eggplant Raita is super simple and so delicious. In kashmir, it's called "buz wangun" which literally translates to roasted Eggplant. It has cultural significance and is cooked during a festival called Pann , when we celebrate and pray to Lord Ganesha. It's like a cross between tzatziki and baba ganoush, so creamy and refreshing! A perfect summer side and super simple to make with just 4 main ingredients . You can also eat it as a dip with raw veggies or crackers. I made a #whole30 and #vegan compatible recipe this time using kitehill unsweetened almond milk yogurt. You can substitute that with any yogurt of choice.
