Rest it on a tray, once the oven is heated, let the eggplant roast for about 25 minutes. keep turning the aubergine so that it roasts evenly, bake until it is soft. Take it out and let it rest for about 20 minutes till it cools down. Remove the skin and take out all the seeds and retain only the pulp(flesh). Using a hand blender, blend the roasted aubergine flesh to a smooth paste.
