YayL
I don’t think it’s worth it for the price, to be honest. It does not taste that great. It has a weird after-taste and I am not a huge fan. The portion isn’t little and has bits of chestnut. I like the consistency. I won’t purchase again.. definitely 1000% better if you make it at home. So hard to get over the bitter, salty & sour after-taste.
Rose
The Eggplants I received are fresh and young. This is a repurchase more time than I can recall. Here it’s prepared with onions, garlic and ginger paste, tomatoes, eddoes, herbs and spices of my choice. This was served with steamed rice.

Okay, very good, excellent, really great!
