eggplant and cauliflower curry!

switching things up to some food with both a recipe and pleasing results: eggplant and cauliflower curry that some random blogger posted to the post punk kitchen website.

i pretty much followed the recipe, except i supplemented the individual spices for a mix of curry and garam masala that came from an international market somewhere in st. louis.

here we have the spices, onions, cubed eggplant, and the requisite eight(!) cloves of garlic:

and here we can see most of the other ingredients: cauliflower, carrots, potatoes, tomato, and cilantro...before they basically get cooked down.

here is the finished product, over some brown basmati rice. it was good! however, for the first time, i made something so spicy that i almost couldn't eat it. a swig of dairy milk was indeed called upon. i'm afraid i might be forced to eat the leftovers alongside some plain greek yogurt. so be it.
