Eggplant Mushroom And Sweet Potato Indian Spiced Stoup Recipes

GREEN CURRY WITH SWEET POTATO AND AUBERGINE (EGGPLANT)

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over medium heat. Add onion and curry paste; cook and stir until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in eggplant; cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Pour coconut milk and vegetable stock onto the eggplant mixture. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in sweet potato and lime leaves; cook and stir until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Mix in lime juice, lime zest, and brown sugar; stir until combined. Season with salt; garnish with shredded lime leaf and cilantro.

SWEET POTATO, PEPPER AND EGGPLANT BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 C or 400 degrees F.
• Cut one of the onions into large chunks.
• Put four tablespoons of the oil into a large roasting dish and add in the onion, sweeet potatoes, eggplant and pepper.
• Mix to coat in the oil and bake for 30 minutes, turning halfway through the baking.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop the other onion and heat the rest of the oil in a frying pan.
• Fry the onion for a few minutes, until soft, then add the garlic, spices and tomatoes.
• Cook for five minutes.
• Stir in the stock and chickpeas, as well as any sugar, salt and tabasco sauce, to taste.
• Take the veggies out of the oven, pour the spiced tomato mixture over top and mix well.

• Just before serving, stir in the fresh cilanto and top each plate with a spoonful of sour cream.
• Serve with rice or bread.

EGGPLANT, MUSHROOM, AND SWEET POTATO INDIAN-SPICED STOUP

Steps:

• Prepare just as you would the master recipe, #226, skipping the rice and adding a little extra oil to the skillet after you scoot over the sweet potatoes. Sauté the eggplant and mushrooms as you would the chicken. Follow the rest of the recipe, swapping the vegetable stock for the chicken stock and the coconut milk for cream. Serve with warm pita for dipping.
