Creamy Eggplant Curry

Being Indian, there is one thing that is a staple in my diet. And that is a nice, warm, spicy curry!

 

Most curries that are creamy often come with heavy dairy based products. Now being a skin health advocate and being someone who has struggled with her own skin issues, I try to avoid dairy as much as possible.

 

So, I came up with this recipe for all my curry-loving, dairy-avoiding patients.

 

The good thing about this curry is that you can make the base and add ANYthing to it. Chickpeas, mushrooms, mixed vegetables, whatever your heart desires.

 

I chose eggplants to add that extra protein and because I had them leftover in the fridge.

 

Here is the recipe:
