Ihutilinanga - A Dish from Gorontalo

This morning hubby browsed through our Yasaboga recipe book and pointed one specific dish: Ihutilinanga. Never tried this before, but eggplant has always been our favorite.

I browsed the internet and found that this dish is a specialty of Gorontalo. The main ingredients are eggplant (of course), coconut milk and chilly. The taste is somewhere between balado and scramble egg. Very greasy, yet sinfully yummy. Oh my my....

Since the eggplant will become tender, you can easily strip the meat from the skin and hide it in the egg. The kids won't even notice :)  Our professional tester, Naomi, tasted this and decided that she loved it :)) (st)

Thanks for tagging me on FB. It's very similar to Eggplant Balado, eh. But no coconut milk in balado.

Mbak Pepy,
I opened your Indonesia-Eats to get reference for the English names of some ingredients. Thanks a lot.
Yes, it is something between balado and scrambled egg, plus coconut milk.
