What is "pindjur"

Pindjur or Pinđur (, , , ) is a spicy relish form and is commonly used as a summer spread. Pindjur is commonly prepared in Bosnia, Bulgaria, Serbia and Macedonia.

The traditional ingredients include aubergines, tomatoes, peppers, onion, garlic, black pepper, vegetable oil, sugar and salt. Pindjur is similar to ajvar but is generally made with aubergines. In some regions the words are used interchangeably.
