Drizzle with olive oil and bake in a hot oven (200C/400F/Gas Mark 6) until soft (about 40 mins). Grind the 3 seeds finely together and then cook the 3 spices with the onions and garlic on a low heat until the onions are soft.Add the coriander, chilli, lemon juice and salt to the onions and stir in some olive oil to make an onion slush.When the aubergines are done, spoon the onion mixture over the aubergines and drizzle with yoghurt to serve.
