Slices of grilled brinjals interlaced with a creamy vegetable mixture and a tangy tomato sauce create a delightful combination of delicate flavours in this classic greek favourite.
To cut down on calories, I have used a low calorie white sauce made with a bottle gourd purée instead of using the usual white sauce.
The brinjal, the vegetable layer and the tomato sauce can be prepared in advance to make a hearty meal in no time by just assembling the ingredients and baking them.
Being baked in an oven this dish makes use of very little oil and provides oodles of valuable nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and iron along with fibre.
