Eggplant curry

This is delicious, no "heat" but you could definitely add some if you like to.

1 eggplant in small cubes, 1 red capsicum in large dice, 1 onion diced.



Sautee onion and eggplant, add ½ teaspoon crushed ginger from a jar, 1 teaspoon each garam marsala and turmeric and 1 Massal chicken stock cube.



When almost cooked, add red capsicum and small can Carnation light and creamy milk and ¼ - ½ half cup water.



Serve over rice that is half Jasmine, half Basmati cooked with a handful of sultanas.



Cooking dishes – 1 frypan and 1 pot.

Sweet and Savoury Rice salad

This is amazing!!

Cook 2 and a half scoops of rice (the scoop you get in the rice packet, ½ a cup per scoop??) boil with 3 heaped teaspoons of vegetable stock powder, add 1 egg per person (in the shell) and boil 3 minutes then remove. Continue cooking rice until cooked. Rinse well.



Throw the rice into a large mixing bowl with 1 teaspoon vegetable stock powder, 1 handful of each of the following - “Lucky” brand Add Nuts, frozen peas and sultanas. 1 small can each chickpeas, corn and pineapple. Half handful finely diced red onion.



I regret not adding a handful finely diced red capsicum.



To serve, place in bowls, tear 1 egg over each serving, sprinkle with finely sliced ham (a good one).
