You can also roast the eggplant in an oven. Cut the eggplants in long pieces and place them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle with some olive oil and roast for 20-25 minutes at 180 Degrees C.
The best part of making it at home is that you don’t have to buy the expensive tahini paste from the market.
You can make it home and add it to the recipe or even skip it. Although I highly recommend adding it to the dip as it gives a very earthy flavor to it
