Aubergine Chod

When travelling in the late 1980s the people we bought the truck from had a word for any mixed vegetable dish, Chod. It’s a good all-round word for a veggie dish of no particular recipe or ingredients beyond the veg and flavourings to hand. A vegetable chod or curry chod could be done in a large pot over a fire and shared by all. This particular chod is a yummy mix of aubergine, onion, small tomatoes and spinach with two different cheeses, the Greek melty cheese, which is amazing, and leftover cheese with the edges cut off.
