Meanwhile, heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large sauté pan and fry onion for about 10 minutes, until golden brown.

Add the minced garlic, chile and the Baharat to the onions and fry for another two minutes.

Separately, in a small bowl, mix together lime zest and juice.

Once the eggplant is done pull it out of the oven and add the lime juice mixture over the top. Pile on the onions and chile mixture, and finally, dress with yogurt.
