Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 medium eggplants -- unpeeled, cut into cubes, (about 12 cups)
2 medium yellow onions -- or red onions, peeled and finely chopped
1 piece ginger -- 4-inch, peeled and grated or finely chopped
12 garlic cloves -- peeled and finely chopped
6 green Thai chilies -- to 8 chilies, stems removed, chopped
1 tablespoon cumin seeds -- heaping
1 tablespoon red chili powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil -- or canola oil

Put all ingredients except oil into the slow cooker. Drizzle the oil over everything and mix thoroughly.

Cook on low for 5 hours. If the eggplant begins to look dry while cooking, just drizzle a little more oil into the slow cooker.

Eat with roti, naan, or rice.

To make this dish in a 3 1/2-quart slow cooker, halve all the ingredients and proceed with the recipe. A half recipe makes 4 cups.

Yields 7 cups (7 one-cup servings)

AuthorNote: My husband is not a big eggplant fan, so he was apprehensive about trying this dish. Once he did, though, he ate it for a week straight. He went out one night for a work dinner and said that while eating steak he was thinking of how he preferred this eggplant dish. If I can make one of you, too. Give it a try and see how many time you make it again!

ChupaNote: I thought this was too much salt. Next time I'll use 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon turmeric instead.
