Ingredients

    1-1/2 lb waxy potatoes
    1-1/2 lb eggplant
    1 tbsp canola or olive oil
    1 jalapeno
    1 tbsp minced garlic
    1 tsp mustard seeds
    1 tsp cumin seeds
    salt & black pepper to taste
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    fresh lemon juice to taste
    chopped fresh cilantro to taste

Directions

Peel and cut eggplant and potatoes into similar-sized wedges.
Put the oil in skillet. Heat.
Add chiles, garlic, mustard, and cumin.
Cook a couple of minutes.
Add potatoes and eggplant, along with 1/4 cup water and a sprinkling of salt & pepper, and cover.
Cook for about 10 minutes, checking once or twice and adding a little water if necessary, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Remove the cover and raise the heat to medium-high.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until both potatoes and eggplant brown nicely and become completely tender, another 10 to 15 minutes.

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