Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180oC /160oC fan /350oF. Cut the tortilla wraps into strips and then into triangles. Place on a baking sheet and place in the oven till they have turned golden brown and have crisped up. You will have to keep an eye on them so that they don't catch & burn. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Place the yogurt in a small bowl and stir in the tahini, garlic, lemon juice and salt to taste. Mix and set aside till later.

Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the chopped onions and cook over a medium low heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently so that they do not stick to the bottom of the pan. Add the cubed aubergine and cook for 10 - 12 minutes, stirring frequently, making sure that they don't catch. If they do start sticking to the bottom of the pan, add a couple of tablespoons of water and stir. By now the aubergine should have softened and the flesh should have changed colour.

Add the cinnamon, coriander, cumin and paprika and salt and mix well. Turn up the heat and add the turkey mince. Use a fork to break up the mince and cook until it has browned and is no longer pink. Turn the heat down to medium and cook for 10 - 15 minutes, stirring every now and then until the meat is cooked through. Take off the heat, taste and add more salt if needed.

Assemble the browned tortilla triangles on a plate. Spoon the mince and aubergine mixture on top and then drizzle over the yogurt & tahini sauce. Sprinkle with pine nuts, pomegranate seeds and torn up mint leaves.
