Slow-cooked Eggplant and Pea Curry

This was a recipe worthy of me making more than once, and even for my lunch group. I have to say that I'm sometimes weary of making eggplant because it can just be done WRONG, and can end up watery or bitter or grey. This dish, on the other hand, makes the eggplant melt, and it has color, and it melds perfectly with rice. I've been on an eggplant kick lately, ever since making this recipe. It comes from a book called, "The Gourmet Slow Cooker," and it must be one of the simplest and tastiest recipes in the book. Serve it with rice or naan, yogurt, chutney, and a salad. Check out the book to get the recipe.

Chana Masala and Cabbage-Tomato Curry

A selection of recipes made this yummy dinner. The best Chana Masala recipe I have tried yet can be found here. This site has many wonderful Indian recipes which actually taste authentic. Indian food is my weakness, meaning that I love it, and I also can't cook it. But the Chana Masala recipe really is no-fail.

The Cabbage-Tomato curry I took from Heaven's Banquet, another one of my favorites.

With these two dishes, we had yogurt and mango chutney to round it out.
