Eggplant Tofu Curry with Brown Rice

It is no secret that eggplant is one of my favorites...

This meal here is nothing earth-shattering, but, is simple, wholesome and satisfying. Eggplant and tofu is cooked together with some onions, celery, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, salt and a touch of sambal oelek for the spiciness. Brown rice is cooked with some vegetable (or chicken) stock and water.

Blend some of the ginger, garlic, tomatoes, celery to a fine paste to make a thicker gravy-like consistency for the curry base. Use the rest of them chopped in the curry. Simmer together with favorite seasoning. Serve warm with brown rice or wild rice.
