Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Cut the aubergine halves into 5mm slices, then toss with all of the spices and a splash of olive oil. Season to taste. Spread the aubergine slices out on a baking tray in a single layer and roast for 20 minutes or until cooked through. Set aside.
step 2
For the peanut dressing, combine all the ingredients in a pan and gently warm over a low heat (you don’t want it to get too hot) to infuse the flavours. Remove from the heat and set aside. For the relish, mix together all the ingredients with a little seasoning.
step 3
Spread 1 tbsp of the yogurt over each bun base. Reheat the aubergine slices in a low oven, if needed, then arrange over the yogurt. Top with the relish, a drizzle of peanut dressing and a handful of salad leaves. Sandwich with the bun tops, then serve.
