Chicken Curry and Beyond - The CurryFocus Blog

Hi, Ray here again.

I decided to try out one of the vegetarian recipes for a change and went for the Stuffed Eggplants.

Before I start, I need to say that I messed up with the eggplants that I bought. I saw that the recipe was for stuffed eggplants and bought a couple of large eggplants. But the recipe called for those small eggplants. So I started off all wrong.

I followed the recipe pretty well but things didn’t work out as I hoped.

First, the paste turned out to be a bit dry. It was very tasty but was dry.

Next, there was no “stuffing” of the eggplants. What I ended up doing was spreading the paste into the quartered eggplants like spreading butter. I did my best to evenly spread the paste into the eggplant cracks.

Then the final result was pretty tasteless apart from where the paste had come into contact with the eggplant. As I said before, the paste itself was delicious but the eggplant was dry and bland.

So it wasn’t a great success. I am more than willing to accept that my lack of cooking skills was the main problem, not to mention me buying the wrong types of eggplants.

Nobody around the table really liked the dish and it rated a small 4 out of 10.

But it hasn’t put me off. I see there’s a recipe for eggplant curry on the web site so I’ll try that out in a while. And next time I’ll get the correct ingredients.
