Eggplant Curry
Copy/Pasting from my cooking blog ( http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/taunto )where I share authentic Indian/Pakistani/Arabic recipes. Most of the recipes are handed down to me by Late mother, my sister or my sister in law. Hope you enjoy it!
This recipe was given to me by my late mother. This is a highly nutritious and delicious recipe. Meat eaters like me enjoy it because of its meaty texture and don't miss meat a lot. Some of the unusual ingredients can be found at your local indian store. They're fairly cheap and almost all of the ingredients are used in every other Indian recipe so it won't be a waste Most of the spices last forever too. Hope you all like it
Ingredients:
1 Onion (medium, thinly sliced)
3 Tomatoes (Medium, thinly sliced)
1 lb Eggplant (Try to get the small sized ones. The smaller the better. Diced cut into 2 inch pieces)

1/2 tsp red chilli pepper powder (can also use cayenne powder if available)
1/3 tsp Turmeric powder (available at Indian stores)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste (available in indian stores)
2 sticks of fresh curry tree leaves (don't use dried. You can skip if not available. Called kaddi patta in hindi)
3 green chillies (from Indian store. cut into small pieces)
3 tbsp olive oil
some cilantro
Recipe:
Saute the onion in a pot with the olive oil. Add cumin. Add eggplants and stir the pot. Add chilli powder, turmeric, salt, ginger garlic paste, potatoes tomatoes and curry tree leaves.

Sounds delicious! I love aubergine (what we call eggplant here) - one of those ingredients I don't think I could live without. 0

Sounds great! I've been wanting to learn how to cook eggplant.0

This is an amazing dish goes well with brown rice
For those of you who can't find all of the ingredients in your area
Use
Onions -as desired
Garlic- as desired
Pepper (optional)
Tomato
Curry Power (contains cumin turmeric and other spices to make a curry powder blend)
Follow same Cooking instructions without the water the eggplant releases it's own water so simmer down and enjoy
It is healthy & nutritious0 -
Sorry I missed the oil and potatoes --I'm not changing the recipe just trying to make it more convenient for those of you who don't have access to the speciality ingredients like the curry leaves which are already in the curry powder blend0
