Eggplant and Potato Curry
"This is my version of a spicy dish we had on our last trip to Chicago. It was served with white rice. Recommend Japanese Eggplant. Would also recommend thin skinned white potatoes so that there is no peeling."

We make, eat and review a lot of curries, so we are tough critics. This was good, but lacked "wow factor". I can hardly think of a curry made without onion, garlic, ginger and think this one missed those three things. I garnished the finished dish with mint, but if I'd had it, I'd have used fresh coriander instead. I served this with natural yoghurt on the side which gave it a lift. -
My husband is Jain, and does not eat onion or garlic. This is a great recipe for anyone that eats Jain. I added a couple green chilies to bump up the heat. -
Based on other reviews I tripled the spices, which was perfect for us. I'm not a big fan of chewy peels, so think I will probably peel the eggplant and tomatoes next time. Great way to enjoy some fresh eggplant. For ZWT9 -
We thought this was a nice, easy to make, hearty curry. Based on other reviews, we made some modifications: added a chopped onion, 3 cloves of garlic, cilantro for garnish and increased the spices to 1 tsp. I think we would have preferred even more than 1 tsp next time. This felt healthy and was easy for a weeknight meal. We served over basmati rice. Thanks!
