Directions
Spicy Indian Eggplant Spread,A nice spread. You can easily adjust the heat by varying the amount of cayenne pepper. It smells wonderful while simmering! I found this recipe in the Sunday paper. Serve warm with pita, naan, tortilla or pita chips!,Good but not really a spread. used canola oil to be soy free, powdered ginger (I thought I had fresh when I tagged it), recipe#279714, very small amount of cayenne pepper powder, DD1 (4 years old) was eating too, a good canned plumb tomatoes, sea salt, plus the rest of the ingredients. Made for Veggie Swap #49 ~ August ~,My family loves eggplant and they were on special this week. This was interesting for us, but also refreshing, because we always like trying something new and this did not disappoint. Next time I will double the recipe, so it will last longer.
