    Padhu. I like this side dish and tried it many times at the fast food place in San Diego. I have tried making it many times at home and it was never the same. I will try yours this time. Thanks for sharing.

    It was delicious! Thank you for the recipe! A couple of things: I would recommend cooking the potatoes 10-20 minutes, before adding the other ingredients in order, instead of the 5 minutes that you recommended. That way, the potatoes can get done at the same time the eggplant does (instead of the eggplant getting mushy while the potatoes are only half-cooked). Anyway, lovely flavors and combinations 🙂
