I used this recipe as a basis, and it turned out AMAZING! The reason I gave it three stars is because I don't know what the original stated recipe actually tasted like.<br/><br/>I started by sweating the eggplants (I ended up using a couple of small guys from the Farmer's Market), and then basically followed the recipe until the spice section. Although, I did add potatoes, and ended up using red onion because that's why my CSA box gave me. I omitted the fish sauce due to vegetarianess. Beyond what this recipe called for, I also added some cumin, mustard seed, some curry powder, but in my opinion, most importantly I added brown sugar. Then I spiced it up some more with chili powder; perhaps if I had used two serrano peppers or left more of the seeds in (I've had issues with making dishes REALLY REALLY spicy before), the chili powder wouldn't have been necessary.<br/><br/>I served it wish rice that I treated with a little bit of lemon juice and cilantro. It was delicious!
