MOM'S EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) SABZI
This is one of my favourite eggplant dishes. My mom made this but not too often since it does have a bit of oil. It is very easy to make too, so enjoy!

Steps:
- In a heavy- bottomed skillet, cook the eggplant in oil.
- Stir every once a while so that the eggplant does not stick to the bottom of the skillet.
- Once it is cooked, add the salt, amchur powder, sugar and sambar powder and switch off the heat.
- Eggplant sabzi is ready!
- Note: Stir after adding sugar, salt etc so that they don't stick to each other and clump together.
- This goes very well with yoghurt rice or just mixed with rice and eaten as such.
- Since this can be oily and spicy, I usually combine it with dal (which I make a bit bland to compensate) and eat with hot rotis.
SOUTH INDIAN EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) CURRY
This is an adopted recipe that I haven't yet tried. The original chef comments: "My good friend's Indian mother-in-law taught me how to cook this. Auntie (I call her Auntie) is from Hyderabad, is one of the best cooks I know and is very patient! There are a few steps to this recipe and you need some special ingredients, but it is really good, authentic South Indian cuisine. I'm posting some photographs with this recipe so you can see what these ingredients look like. They can all be found at an Indian grocery. Everything is listed in the order in which you will use it. Be brave; if you are patient, willing to take your time and have everything ready before hand, you will be rewarded with a delicious result. (Prep time is approximate and could be a little longer)."

KOO KOO SABZI

Steps:
- Cook spinach and drain well.
- In a large bowl, combine spinach, cilantro, parsley, dill, and onion.
- In a small bowl, crack three eggs and whisk with a fork. Pour eggs into large bowls with herbs. Mix to combine.
- You do not want an eggy consistency. The egg is used to combine the herbs together. The herbs should look very glossy from the egg, not swimming in it! From here gauge if you need to crack another egg and add it to your mix.
- Season with salt, pepper, and turmeric,.
- Fold in cranberries and walnuts.
- Heat a large pan over medium-heat and spray with cooking spray.
- Pour egg mixture into pan and let cook on one side, about three minutes.
- As the bottom is cooking, use your spatula to divide "omelet" into six or eight "pie slices".
- Flip each slice so the other side cooks, another three minutes.
- Lower heat to medium as needed so it doesn't burn.
