     A waxy potato is a red potato or a "new" potato. In other words, not a russet, or baking potato. - 8/4/09

     this was delicious. I added a little red pepper and an onion I had on hand. - 8/4/09

     Nice. I served it with cabbage and zuchini, basmati rice, and salad dressed with olive oil and lemon for a full vegetarian meal. - 5/31/09

     Calling it "spicy" was an under statement...Wow! It blew me away. Next time I will not use the Jalapeno. And I think I'd let the potatoes cook a little by themselves, as my eggplant got kind of mushy. But I like it & will make it again. - 10/21/09

     I made this and it was okay. Wanted to try and like eggplant.....no one in the family likes it. While we still do not like it we sure loved the flavor of this recipe. - 8/5/09

     We don't care for spicey so left those seasonings out. But, the combo is good to add your own tastes to. - 8/4/09

     I'm not much of a cook, but this sounds great! I'm going to add extra firm tofu for a complete vegetarian meal in one pan with added protein.
    Okay, I made it and ended up adding rotel for color and an extra jalapeno to balance out the tofu and extra eggplant I added and it was great! TY - 10/20/09

     I wasn't expecting too much of this since it's so simple. I was completely happily surprised that it was delicious! About 2 bites in my husband said "this is phenomenal! We're making this a lot!" no objection from me- easy, quick, and a nice way to do Indian healthily. - 5/9/11

     This sounds like one of the ethnic recipes I've tasted at local middle eastern/packistani/indian restaurants?? Can you tell us a bit more about where this recipe comes from? Thanks! - 1/31/11
  • ROSIE19531
     My family likes it very spicey and I don't I only tried a little bit because it was very spiey with one pepper. My husband didn't remove the seeds though asked him to either leave it out next time or use just a tiny bit of it without any seeds. It really looked good too. It is a keeper. - 10/30/09
