Bonjan-salade

Bonjan salad is a flavorful and healthy appetizer from Afghanistan. Slices of eggplant are first fried and then poured over with a tomato sauce that's spiced with red pepper flakes, pepper, and cinnamon. The coated eggplants are usually left to cool in the refrigerator anywhere from a few hours to overnight, and are then served at room temperature, preferably with Afghan flatbread or a cup of yogurt.
