Ingredients

First I slice the eggplant and put them in a coliander. I salt the eggplant so it doesn't absorb all the oil when i fry it. I let it sit while I slice the potatoes thinly and then put them in 1/3 cup of hot olive oil. I let them get a little browm and set them on paper towels to soak u most of the oil.

Then I squeeze each piece of eegplant to get rid of the joices, and rinse of the salt. I fry them up as well in the same oil. Also placing them on paper towels to absorb any extra oil. If it gets to dry, i just fry some in water.

Then, I slice up my ounions thinly and put them in the same oiled pan, and then add my ground beef. Once the beef is brown I add the diced tomatoes, oregano, salt, pepper,cinnamon and red wine.

I put four cups of milk in the microwave to get hot (close to boiling). Then in a separate pan, I melt 4 tbsp of butter. I Add the milk slowly and alternately with some flower to create a sauce. You need to wisk constantly so that you r flour doesn't clump. Keep mixing. Sometimes, mine clumps a bit, i just spoon it out and add more flour. Let it come to a boil and then reduce heat and keep stirring for a few minutes. Add aslt and pepper to season. Off the heat you can wisk in 2 eggs but i didn't use them last time, and it was fine without.

Assembly:

I used two pans, a 8 by 6 inch ( ish) im not sure pan... and a square.. maybe 6 by 6 inch pan.

First layer: potatoes, then eggplants, then meat sauce, then potatoes, eggplants and then white sauce. I grated some cheese on the top and baked in a preheated oven (200C) for about 45 minutes.
