In a fry pan put two cups of corn oil and let it boil .Start adding the potatoes. Make
sure to fry them on both sides. After finishing with potatoes , do the same with the
eggplants.
Then take pan or pyrex 37x23x10 cm or a round one of 30cm. Lightly
grease the whole area. Make one layer of potatoes in the pyrex.
Make a second layer of eggplants above the potatoes.
Make a third layer with the stuffed meat.
