"Baingan Gumbo"

We had eggplants; we had okra.  So we decided to convert an eggplant curry recipe to a combo.  The two were good together.  Make sure you simmer until veggies are very tender.

Ingredients

3 small eggplants, unpeeled, cubed
ca 20 okra pods, cut crosswise 1 1/2 inch segments
2 onions, roughly chopped
3 tomatoes chopped or 300g fresh tomato coulis
1 1/2 inch ginger, minced
1 pinch of red pepper flakes
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp curry powder
1/2 Tbsp geera or ground cumin
1/2 Tbsp amchar masala or garam masala or anything else you like

Steps

Saute the onions, ginger and pepper flakes until fragrant; add the garlic and spices.
Fry for 3 minutes
Add the eggplant and okra and cook 5 minutes - add a bit of water if needed as you go.
Add the tomatoes and simmer until all vegetables are tender and sauce thickens some. Add salt to taste.
