2. Meanwhile, sautè the onion and garlic until soft and translucent.

3. Combine the rest of the ingredients (except for the egg and the flour) in a large bowl. Chop the aubergines into cubes and add to the breadcrumb mixture, as well as the fried onion and garlic.

6. Form cakes with the aubergine mixture and then place them into the flour. Cover the cakes well and then fry for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Place the fried cakes on a roasting tray and keep them warm in a moderate oven.

7. Serve warm with the spicy- cream cheese sauce.

For the Spicy- Cream cheese sauce:
Combine 1 tub (250g) plain cream cheese with 1-2 tsp hot chilli paste and season to taste. Mix well.
