Eggplant Curry image

I don't really like eggplant, but I loved this curry. I couldn't get enough of it, and two hours after eating a heaping bowl, I went back for what little was left over, and ate that. It's comfort food, and so soulful. Maybe it has something to do with the butter everything is sautéed in? This is adapted from a Bon Appetit article, and the directions are long, BUT once you get going, it's not hard to do. I used a curry mix that I like by Sadaf brands; use your favorite or make one from scratch! Enjoy!

I didn't have any eggplant on hand, so I substituted zucchini. It turned out just as delicious!

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not usually a fan of eggplant, but this curry changed my mind. The eggplant was tender and flavorful, and the curry sauce was rich and creamy.

I've always been a fan of eggplant curry, but this recipe is by far the best I've ever tried. The addition of coconut milk gives it a creamy richness that is simply divine.

This eggplant curry was a hit at my dinner party! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the eggplant was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this dish again.
