Key points,
Chicken giblets are optional.
The whole time for cooking is 35-40 minutes at most.
Applying thick salt water is a good way to remove bitter and sharp taste of eggplants.
For each glass of water, use two tbsp salt in a bowl and put the eggplants inside. After 15 minutes drain them.
This amount of time is enough for 2 eggplants.
The more the eggplants and the more their size, the more the time.
Make sure to fry chicken giblets finely and then add eggplants to the pan.
This is a very complete dish which is made quickly. It is almost often used for dinner in some cities.
Apply Tomato puree instead of tomato pieces. Otherwise you will have to apply more oil to avoid the minced meat and soybeans to get tough.
