Add eggplant cubes. Stir and leave for another 10 to 15 minutes until lentils and eggplants are tender and totally cooked. Make sure to add the juice of 1 lemon at this stage to prevent eggplants discoloration due to oxidizing.
- In a mortar, crush together garlic, chili pepper and dill seeds then add to the lentils mixture. Dissolve flour in pomegranate juice and add to the pot using a strainer to hold any undissolved flour lumps. Keep stirring. You can add 2-3 Tbsp of pomegranate molasses of you find the pomegranate juice not sour enough.
- Add cumin. Make sure not to add it at any earlier stage since cooking cumin for long will result with a bitter taste. You can add the citrus acid as well. let it all cook till the mixture starts thinking up. If the consistency is too thick you may add water, if it’s thin you can add flour. The thickness should be good enough to be able to eat it with Arabic bread.
