1. Heat grill to very hot. Slice the aubergines in half lengthways, then grill for 25 mins, turning occasionally, until soft - the skin will remain firm, but the flesh will soften. Lift the aubergines off the grill and leave until cool enough to handle.
2. Using a sharp knife, score the grilled flesh and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Tip into a bowl and mash with a fork until you get a thick pulp. Beat in the lemon juice and garlic. Add the yogurt and dill, and season. Serve while still warm.

  I made this for my lunch today, it was gorgeous. I pureed the aubergine in a food processor and added a squeeze of lime juice instead of lemon. It was lovely and fresh served with chapattis or similiar flat bread in the spring sunshine!!! Couldn't rate highly enough!

  This has got to be one of my favourite dips. I made it for a buffet dinner with friends and it went down a storm. Didn't have any dill so substituted with fresh parsley and it turned out perfect. Will definitely be making it again- probably tonight actually!
