Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 350°F/Gas mark 4.
Dice the aubergine, and steam in a colander or a bamboo steamer over a pan of boiling water for 30 minutes.
Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the steamed aubergine, garlic and paprika. Season with pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until the aubergine is soft.
To prepare the pitta bread, split each into 2 rounds. Brush with the white of the egg and sprinkle with cumin seeds. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until crisp. Serve with the aubergine caviar for dipping.
