Indian Spiced Eggplant and Cauliflower


I just chop up the vegetables, and throw everything into the crock pot for 3-4 hours on high. Can also be cooked on low for 6-8 hours. Delicious alongside brown rice, quinoa, or whole wheat couscous. As a side note: I don't particularly like either eggplant -or- cauliflower, but I love this dish! Just sayin'...

 

 Indian Spiced Eggplant and Cauliflower

 

  • 2 tablespoons curry powder, preferably hot Madras *I used regular curry, and it was S.P.I.C.Y.
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1-pound eggplant, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt, (optional) *Do NOT place this in the crockpot*

For serving, top each plate with a dollop of yogurt, if desired.
