Baingan Bharta (Eggplant Curry)

Someone was talking about eggplant today. And after the favorable outcome of the Moroccan Meatballs, I decided to persist in my Indian cuisine.

Eggplant Curry over parmesan couscous!



This was soooo good! And totally vegetarian!

First I cut a large eggplant in half lengthwise and put it facedown on a baking sheet in the oven on 450 for 25 minutes.

While that's cooking, saute one chopped onion with 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds until the onion is tender.

Mix in 1 teaspoon minced ginger, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1 can rotel, 1 teaspoon chopped jalepenos, 1/2 cup plain yogurt.

When the eggplant is done, spoon out the flesh and cut it into cubes. Add it to the mixture along with 1 cup frozen peas. Cover it and cook on high for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.


Then I made some 5-minute couscous to go with it. YUM.

This is the abridged version because SYTYCD is on TV. And I gotta go watch!!!
