In a separate pan, melt Butter, sauté Chopped Onions until translucent, add eggplant flesh and continue to fry until soft. remove and set aside.
In the same pan sauté Minced Meat until cooked. Add Garlic, MAGGI® Chicken Bouillon , Water, and the jameed. Add Onion and Eggplant mixture to the pan and cook together for an additional 5 minutes.
