How to Make Indian Styled Ratatouille

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a thick-based pot over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 inch ginger (grated), 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder, and 1/4 teaspoon chili powder. Sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  3. Add 1 large eggplant (cubed) and 1/4 cup water.
  4. Cover the pot and cook on medium-high heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more water if needed to prevent sticking.
  5. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  6. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and the eggplant is tender.
  7. Stir in 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
  8. Simmer for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and serve hot with toasted seed bread or alongside your favorite lentil dish.
