Eggplant & Raddhish with Garlic/Cilantro Rice

My apologies to those of you who have been checking my blog and not seeing any updates. I hope to get back on track and post more frequently.


Today's dish is an old favorite of mine.  In Sindhi it is called Mooli Wangar ( not sure of the spelling).

Ingredients:
Eggplant
Raddish (the white long one)
Tomatoes
onions
ginger
garlic
green chilis
cumin powder
coriander powder
turmeric powder
salt
cilantro


Method:

Cut up the eggplant and raddish into small squares. Chop the onions and saute. Add the chopped garlic and ginger. Once it is slightly brown add the eggplant and raddish.  Throw in the chopped tomatoes.  Add salt, turmeric powder, green chilis, cumin and coriander powder. I normally add around 1 tsp of the spices.  Add about half a cup of warm water and let the vegetables cook.  Once the raddish is soft, shut the stove.


Rice:
Saute chopped garlic and put in rice with 1 tsp turmeric powder and salt. Add chopped clilantro and cook rice.


Serve with yogurt.
