It can be served warm or at room temperature, but the beef version is usually best served warm for both flavour and food safety. Make sure the filling is heated through before serving.
Bitterness can come from the eggplant variety or from older eggplants. Salting the cut eggplant for 20–30 minutes, then wiping or rinsing it, can help reduce bitterness.
Baking helps the eggplant brown and concentrates the flavour of the filling. Stovetop cooking creates a softer, more saucy result, so the better method depends on the texture you prefer.
