Last week I posted a recipe for Eggplant Caviar.
My husband, however, does not like to eat raw onions. He feels that raw onions have a bitter aftertaste.
So, this week I made eggplant spread with roasted peppers and onions instead.
Roasting the vegetables gives the dish a milder flavor than using raw vegetables. To compensate, I added some garlic powder. It gave it a bit more pizzazz.
Here is the picture:
The dish is actually from my grandmother, who was very close to my Aunt Esther.
We enjoyed many meals using those dishes!
I love the versatility of Eggplant!

It looks the similar. The spicing is different and this is without tomatoes. I thinks your recipe is more flavorful! I am not sure where to get curry leaves around here. I love how you spice things! I am making aloo mutar tonight!
