Indian Ratatouille image

This is an intriguing twist on a classic, Indian spices combined with Mediterrran flavors. A mini food processor works really well for chopping the garlic, chile, and ginger root. Serve on rice or orzo or accompanied by a crusty loaf of bread. Adapted from Moosewood Restaraunt New Classics cookbook. Enjoy!

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but with less chili pepper.

I'm not usually a fan of ratatouille, but this Indian version was delicious. The spices really took it to the next level.
