Eggplant, Tomato and Green Onion Curry image

Adapted from Vij's restaurant in Vancouver. I have halved the recipe and reduced the amount of oil. This is delicious as a side or as a main. When buying eggplant, compare eggplants of the same size and buy the one that weighs the less. It will have more meat and fewer seeds.

4 green onions
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 tablespoon Mexican chili powder

Steps:

  • Chop the green onions, the white parts, 1/4 inch long and the green parts 3/4 inch long. Set aside.
