• Yogurt Sauce
• 1 cup vegan yogurt (or plain Greek yogurt if you don't care about this dish being vegan)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon chopped dill (or any herb of your choice)
• salt, to taste
• black pepper, to taste
• Polenta Crusted Eggplant
• 1 long, Chinese eggplant
• 1/4 cup Almond milk (regular milk if you don't care about this dish being vegan)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 c cups polenta
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (add more if you want it spicy)

1. Whisk all ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. Pre-heat the oven to 275u0b0 F.
3. Cut the eggplant in 1/4 inch slices, sprinkle some salt and set aside for a few minutes. Dab the eggplant slices with a paper towel to remove excess water. This will help keep the eggplant crispy and not get mushy.
4. Add the spices to the polenta.
5. Dip the eggplant slices in flour.
6. Dip the eggplant+flour slices in Almond milk.
7. Dip the eggplant+flour+Almond milk slices in Polenta+spice mixture.

9. Bake for about 15 minutes, turn them over and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
10. Serve with yogurt sauce.
