--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2       lg           Potatoes
  1       md           Eggplant
  1       c            Frozen peas
  2                    Garlic cloves
    1/4   lb           Ginger
  1                    Dried hot chili, OR
    1/4   ts           Chili powder
  1                    Onion
    1/2   ts           Turmeric powder
  2       tb           Vegetable oil
                       Salt, to taste

 Wash and cut potatoes in small pieces.  (Each potato
 cut into 16 sections is the ideal.)  Cut eggplant into
 thin slices, about 2 to 3 inches long. Put it in water.

 With 2 tablespoons of water, blend the cloves of
 garlic, ginger, dried chili or chili powder, and
 onion.  Make it a thick mixture.

 Put a cooking pot over a low heat.  Add oil.  Add
 turmeric powder and blended spices.  When the spices
 become relatively thick, add potatoes. Mix thoroughly
 and put the lid on the pot.  Let it cook for 3 minutes.

 Now add sliced eggplant.  Mix thoroughly.  Add 1/2 cup
 of water.  Put the lid on.  Cook for 8 minutes.  You
 may want to check the vegetables to make sure that the
 bottom does not burn.

 Add peas and salt.  Mix all vegetables and put the lid
 back on.  Cook for 4 to 9 minutes.  When the eggplant
 feels soft, turn off the heat. Mix again.

 Serve hot or warm.
