Smoked Eggplant Curry
While at the fresh market, I spotted these giant Eggplants/Brinjals, which I bet if you could aim right & spin at someone, it would knock him of his feet…. without further thought I placed it in my cart, along with the other vegetables, to stack my refrigerator, before the major snow hits us this weekend.This morning, as I fiddled with the thought of what to cook for lunch,the two giant eggplants seemed to stare at me from the refrigerator….a light bulb moment occurred….the kind that sheds light on the best of cooking on a cold wintery weekend.Being a laid back weekend, with freezing temperatures outside, there was so much time to experiment,so I picked Koyla(smoked) Chicken recipe, by Sanjeev Kapoor of the “Khana Khazana’ fame , tweaked it a bit to suit the eggplant I had in hand & Voila, a new recipe was born.When you run out of ideas to cook your eggplant , try this recipe which is a quick & easy one and turns out delicious as a side.Along with my Avocado chapatis , they made a sumptuous meal.
