This is proper traditional Egyptian moussaka thanks man!! Also a tip from my Egyptian auntie is to place something heavy on the eggplant while it’s draining (not enough to crush them obv but enough to squeeze them, something like an empty pot)

We have Middle Eats and Waleed posting Egyptian Moussaka weeks apart from each other, and that's a good thing.

The peel is the best part. Never understood why they are discarded.

I love moussaka, have you ever considered doing a long form compilation video where you create multiple regional versions of it?

A trick that my dad taught me is to drench the eggplant in white vinegar for about 5 min before frying them and it doesn’t really absorb too much oil.
