    Baba Ganoush | Delicious Roasted Eggplant Dip Recipe

    Published: Mar 7, 2018 · Modified: May 31, 2022 by Rachna ·

    Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

    Baba Ganoush is a middle eastern style roasted eggplant dip that is delicious to eat. It is vegan and relatively healthy. Pair it with nachos, chips or cut vegetables.

    I enjoy roasting eggplant to make Indian baingan bharta or spicy eggplant mash often.

    Sometimes, I just roast more eggplants to make this dip. It is really tasty and a quick and easy recipe.

    You may also like: coconut chutney, green chutney and sweet mango chutney.

    How to Make The Perfect Baba Ganoush

    1. Roast your eggplant well so that it is cooked inside with a nice smokey flavor.

    2. You can use store-bought Tahini paste. I normally make my own and store extra in the fridge. It has a lovely nutty taste. I have shared the recipe to make Tahini paste in the instructions.

    3. You also need extra virgin olive, garlic, lemon juice and salt for the recipe.

    Calories 650 kcal
    large bowl

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 eggplant charred on the gas stove till well cooked
    • 2 cloves garlic
    • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
    • 3 tbsp. Tahini paste
    • 2 tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
    • salt to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Cool the roasted eggplant and peel it.
    • It will be mushy.
    • Blend it with garlic cloves and some salt in a blender till smooth and creamy. Don't add any water.
    • Now add 2-3 tbsp. of Tahini paste to it and mix well.
    • Add lemon juice and mix.
    • Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and serve.

    To Make Tahini

    • Lightly toast 3 tbsp. of white sesame seeds till they are golden. Now blend it with 1-2 tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil till it is shiny and creamy.
    • Use it immediately. You can make larger batches and store it in the fridge for future use too. Will keep for a week.

    Notes

    Use extra virgin olive oil for nutty taste
    You can roast the garlic when you are roasting your eggplant by making small slits in the eggplant and inserting garlic cloves with their peel into them. They will be roasted along with the eggplant.
    I prefer to roast eggplant on the stove for that smoky, charred flavour. You could use an oven, barbeque or grill as well.
    You can store baba ganoush in the fridge for upto a week easily. We consume it within a day or two as it is so tasty.

      Looks delicious. I'm already a baingan bharta fan. My only concern - it's looks oily. Will it mess my diet?

        Nah, not at all. This is about 2 tbsp. in a bowl and you can surely reduce it. It's actually quite healthy and a perfect dip for salad veggies.

      I love baba ganoush and hummus. In fact I love all Lebanese food. This will be a hit at home because everyone loves brinjal. Plus my cousin brought over some great Middle Eastern bread spice. Will go great with this.

      Love the pictures.Looks tempting!

      I do love baba ganoush! Sadly, being a bit lazy, I've only bought it ready-made but it's so much better at Lebanese or Turkish restaurants where they make the real thing. Must make it soon!
