Moussaka
(Pronounced Moo-sa-ka)

Moussaka is a traditional eggplant or aubergine dish of the Middle East but enjoys fans worldwide. It’s popularity in Greece and Turkey have had the denizens of the countries claim moussaka as they’re own.

The word ‘moussaka’ is from the Arabic term-musaqqa—which means chilled. In Greece, the dish is made of layers of minced lamb or red meat, sliced eggplant and tomato, topped with a white sauce and then baked. Ingredients like zucchini, fried potatoes or sautéed mushrooms are also added. In Turkey, moussaka is not layered; it is prepared with sautéed and fried eggplants, green peppers, tomatoes, onions and minced meat.

One can find delicious moussaka at Souk at the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, and at Flags, Cooperage.
