You DO need garlic (raw) in babaganoush though, you left it out :)

[shankems2000]

Holy, you are gorgeous! And that accent is so sexy. Tell your husband I hate and envy him.

[ZamoraksSonX]

@shankems2000 I think that's a lil stalkerish, and thats not even a real word lol. O_o

[TheThirdHeat1306]

Aarti you are really hilarious and an actual great cook. Almost no other food network chef can actually make me laugh out loud! Keep doing what you do! I am IN LOVE with your accent btw!!!

[peasjay1952]

i read that you won TNFNS! congrats!!!!!!

[dickadockoo]

hey aarti!!! i love you so much!!! you're so cool to watch on next food network star!!! I just wanted to say believe in your self because i do. every week the judges think your food is amazing. so don't ever be afraid to show who you really are because your amazing. :)

[Gazurella]

I would never think that I would want to try to make this but it looks so easy and my mother loves eggplant, and I love most things with tahini so I'm determined to try and go over and cook this for my mother! She'll especially love it when I mention I learned it from our favorite Next Food Network Star finalist

[SarahMJJ]

You have a British accent. I thought you might have been raised in the UK.

Did you got a British system school then?

[aartipaarti]

i went to jess and dubai college so it rubbed off on me!

[SarahMJJ]

Haha I knew it!

I was ALMOST going to say that :P

[omg5144034025]

@aartipaarti i watch you on the next food network star!i think you're gonna win!(no offense to everyone else)

[remohereg]

@aartipaarti congrats on winning next food network star i was rooting for you the whole way. herb and serena too

[ZamoraksSonX]

@remohereg  Lol

[mtnluke]

Ya, she probably did. and I'll bet she would like it better than participating in a a civilization that would probably stone her to death or cut her throat for wearing make-up. In fact, I would bet she would be a much different woman If she were raised a real Muslim. She would probably had been married with out her consent to a man 20 years older than her self and then stoned to death for accepting the fact that she is a free woman not bound to any man or religion.

[SarahMJJ]

I lived in Dubai for about 15/16 years then moved to Sharjah. Now moving back to Dubai again within the next 2 weeks. :)

What brought you to Dubai?

You need your own tv show btw.

[aartipaarti]

thankyou!!

my dad got a job in dubai before i was born! so i was born in india, then moved back to dubai within a month of being born. then stayed there until i was 18!

[baffling11]

@aartipaarti and you got your show! Congrats! It's great :)

[ShiningSilverwind]

@SarahMJJ wow you say she needs her own show and a year later, she gets one

[asdfqwer90]

@SarahMJJ "You need your own tv show..."

Dang, you called that one didn't you? :-)

[SHMUJEW]

get rid of your stupid hippy freak husband and marry me

[aartipaarti]

brendan is the coolest man i know so, sadly, that's not going to happen. thanks for the proposal though!

[Plasticsoul]

@aartipaarti Aarti and Brendan make an adorable couple! White boys and desi girls go well together. My wife and I can attest to that fact :)

cheers Aarti!

[ZamoraksSonX]

@SHMUJEW OOOH! rejected! lolz

[SarahMJJ]

Hi Aarti. I live in one of your homes, the UAE. Your videos are cute and informative. Thanks for sharing.

[aartipaarti]

thanks so much sarah! where do you live? dubai?

[SednaCommunications]

I was looking specifically for a baba ganouj recipe here on YT and there you were :)

[aartipaarti]

yippeeee! let me know what you think of my other videos too!

[SednaCommunications]

Gorgeous dish made by a gorgeous woman !

[margot980]

Great attitude, good cooking.

Frying eggplant seems to take so much oil, this can be just as delicious.

I like it with more chopped in as a spread.

[RyCoTaInc]

Awesome!!!!!!

[supertoe1]

Aarti. Your eggplants look Delicious!! I'd love a taste :~D

[ZamoraksSonX]

@supertoe1 By eggplants I hope you mean the fruit O_o (yeah, eggplant is technically a fruit since it has seeds, vegetables have no seeds.)

[itsMsCharlotte]

Aarti!! MORE (please) from Aarti Paarti!! How about Humas & Tahini next... then possibly a curry or two?  LOVE it. ( :

[1stong]

Super tasty.

[sfgirlpod]

fantastico! love the whole thing. you look beautiful...love the titles... and i learned things! eggplant makes my tongue swell so i might not make this but i love the charring method! can't wait for number two!

[JohnSnowden]

Good Show, Aarti! BUT I'm with Brendan on the taste side of it all.

[kavitamarissa]

Weeeeeeeeee....Rich and I just watched this together (second time for me). Still looks yummy since the last time I saw it. Nice work on the video itself. :) Can you make some indian dishes on video?

[lewisac]

Nice job Aarti! I never knew you could cook eggplant that way. It would be neat to see some serving suggestions after the dish is done.

[jltfilms]

Way to go Aarti.

I want me some.

I'll shoot for food !

[khadajo]

Yay! and Yum!

[crishiecube]

Really good show Aarti. I am sure that this is the beginning of good things. I know that everyone agrees.

[gotoperson]

You Rock! I want to come to an Aarti Paarti. Can you teach us to make chicken tika marsala. I love that!

[tysoneberly]

This was great! I dig it!

[glendamary]

so fantastical!

[crishiecube]

ack sorry, i'm always logged onto youtube so my comments were from mum!

but yes so very good - not liking baba ghonej is insane in my opinion :P

[RyCoTaInc]

Also, a brilliant Karen Forman cameo.

[glendamary]

thanks for the shout out Ryan!

[RyCoTaInc]

This is great!!! So fun to watch!!! This may be planting the seeds to expand my diet beyond oatmeal and subway.

[kevenscotti]

You are awesome.. I Love the simplicity :)

[Forlifeandeternity]

Now I wish that I hadn't put the garlic into my eggplant dip that we ate last night. I can still taste it this morning. Ugghh!

[crishiecube]

Looks really yummy and so easy. Looking forward to more cooking demonstrations on aartipaarti.

[crishiecube]

Lovely demo Aarti. I can almost taste it all these miles away. I am sure it tastes as good as it looks.

We are awaiting more installments on aartipaarti!

I am so proud of you!!

[mhphan]

fantastic -- love opening titles. love b's cameo too.

[Forlifeandeternity]

Loved this, Aarth! Can't wait for the next one.

That is so cool. No garlic? So easy!

I just happened to have made an eggplant mush. I roasted two medium sized eggplants for 50 min & then mushed `em up with a couple cloves of smashed garlic, salt & pepper. I didn't feel like adding lemon & I didn't put in tahini. I've left it to sit in the fridge for the last day & am anxious to try it for dinner tonight. We're going to have it with sesame lavash crackers & a big salad.
