Method
Make 2 or 3 slits in each brinjal and cook over charcoal, under a hot grill or in an oven until the skins are black and the flesh feels soft when poked with a finger. When cool enough to handle, peel the aubergines, scraping off and reserving any flesh that comes away with the skin. Put the flesh in a large bowl and mash with a fork.
Add the garlic and salt and continue to mash or pound the mixture until it is reduced to a pulp.
Add the tahina paste, lemon juice and chilli paste and stir thoroughly. Spoon the mixture on to a large plate, smooth it over with the back of a spoon and sprinkle with the cumin. Dribble the olive oil over the top and garnish with the chopped coriander leaves or parsley and black olives.
