I used this title because after you cook aubergines this way, you can use them in so many savoury dishes. I get many compliments each time I serve them, either as a salad, a side dish, in a sandwich or with spaghetti.

- Sprinkle aubergine cubes with coarse salt and put them in a colander. Let stand for at least 30 minutes. Wash thoroughly and pat dry.
- Deep fry for 5 minutes or till they turn golden-brown. Remove from pan and dry on kitchen paper.
- Transfer into bowl and season with salt, garlic powder, chilli powder and vinegar. I use a lot of chilli powder and a generous dose of garlic powder and vinegar. You can adjust these according to your taste. Mix well, trying not to mash the aubergines. Let stand for at least 1 hour. The longer they stand, the tastier they get.
Make ahead
If you prepare them the day before, they will taste better.
