Hello Saju, i make the eggplant and potatoes dish very commonly, with a thick gravy and was thinking of the same for dinner, will try it your way now with peas and garlic tonight.

Thanks Shayma, I am flattered. The link is http://www.thespicespoon.com/blog/highlights-of-2009/
I too love reading your blog, and am also planning to attend creative writing evening classes next term. This term I am doing painting.
I love this - this is just how my mum makes it. I was telling a friend just recently that your recipes are like having my nanima around to give me instructions, except that you give measurements rather than just "a bit of this..."
