ABOUT Eggplant Moussaka - Greek Style RECIPE

This is a Greek style recipe where the fried eggplants are covered with a delicious tomato sauce and baked to perfection. This is a simple version without any cheese, white sauce or any meat. This is a very popular Greek cuisine and it is my very first attempt at preparing it. A very simple and an easy recipe, it is had as it is, but I relished as a side dish with chapattis, a la Indian style. It was simply awesome. So do give it a try if you are looking for something new and an exciting baked delicacy.
