In the heart of a cozy Guyanese kitchen, the air is filled with the aromatic blend of roasting eggplant and a symphony of spices, preparing for the creation of the much-loved Eggplant Choka. This dish, a staple of Guyanese cuisine, speaks to the soul with its simple yet profound flavors. The eggplant, charred to perfection, is then mashed and mixed with onions, garlic, and a generous pour of oil, transforming it into a smoky, savory delight.
