This was quick and easy.

Take 2 small eggplants, cubed

one medium onion

4 cloves of garlic, to taste

Saute the above for several minutes

Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper

Add curry powder to taste, start with one tsp (or curry paste) to taste. Hot or mild

Extra chopped hot peppers, optional

1 tsp of garam masala powder, optional

Add a drizzle of beer or broth, stir well, cook 15 min on medium heat, stirring several times

add a 6 oz can of coconut milk, unsweetened.

Cook for 10-15 more minutes and serve with potatoes or rice. A sprinkle of chopped cilantro several minutes before serving was delicious too.
