    That looks and sounds so delicious! I LOVE eggplants everything but I've never cooked them in a curry. I'm wondering if I can try to make it my easy way, maybe skip some spices (sorry I still have a hard time finding Indian spices around here).

    Congrats on the award! You really deserved it and it was so sweet of you that you passed it onto other bloggers (I hope I'm included, hehe)!!!
