I always tend to make quick curries or one pot dishes during working days and go for elaborate meals over the weekend. I have a small kid who needs to be sent to school by seven in the morning and my husband prefers taking lunch to office. So, I need to finish cooking breakfast and lunch in the morning itself. It is easier to prepare a dish which will be eaten by the whole family. Eggplant and potatoes are loved by my family. So, I decided to make this easy eggplant potato curry for lunch today and packed it for hubby’s office with some phulkas and raita. I have already shared few dishes on my blog using eggplant. If you love eggplants like me, just click on names for the recipes:
So, sharing a quick curry and hope you all try it out and enjoy!!

I love eggplants and it turns out delicious too 🙂
Lovely combo.. we have something similar in Sindhi cuisine too.
I love sindhi food. So, flavourful!
We have a lot of eggplant… And for some reason I hadn’t tried a curry with one. This looks lovely.
Try it out Anne, you’ll love it. I’m a fan of eggplants 🙂
Eggplant is so versatile and with the red pepper and turmeric this curry is packed with flavor! Absolutely perfect!
Thank you Heather 🙂
Good morning Priya! I know exactly what you mean about those busy school/work mornings. You need something quick , easy and something the whole family will like to bring to school/work for lunch. Do you use a bento box or something similar or maybe a thermos to keep it warm? Sharing and Pinned!
I use a bento box or pack in tupperwares which are microwave safe so that hubby can reheat 🙂
Potatoes and aubergines is a lovely combination for a curry. It’s quick and economical dish as well as these vegetables are readily available in all supermarkets and vegetable stalls.
Thank you 🙂
Great combination ! Looks very delicious too !
