Method
- 1
Boil the new potatoes for 12-15 minutes until tender, then drain and slice. Boil the eggs for 8 minutes, then cool in cold water and peel.
- 2
Slice the aubergines into 1cm rounds, salt lightly and leave for 15 minutes, then pat dry and fry in the oil in batches for 3-4 minutes each side until golden and soft.
- 3
Whisk the tahini with the lemon juice and enough water to make a pourable sauce, and season with salt.
- 4
Warm the pitta breads and split them open.
- 5
Fill each pitta with fried aubergine, sliced potato and a halved boiled egg, then drizzle with the tahini sauce and the mango chutney (used here in place of the traditional amba).

Serve straight away.
