Lentil Curry with Eggplant & Spinach
And the final # 3 dish for this package of Trader Joe's steamed lentils is a lentil curry with eggplant, spinach, potatoes, and cauliflower.
I made it very easy on myself by using Trader Joe's Korma Curry Simmer Sauce. I sauted a chopped onion in olive oil with a couple of shakes of cumin seeds. I added the diced baby potatoes, covered, and cooked for a couple of minutes, then added the cauliflower and eggplant with a little extra oil and a generous pinch of salt. Covered again and cooked 3-4 minutes. I then added the lentils and the Korma Curry Simmer Sauce. Partially covered and simmered for about 10 minutes. I added about 1/2 cup of water and simmered another 5 minutes. Added fresh baby spinach, which promptly wilted, and served in a pure white bowl.
I have to say, I'm really warming up to eggplant. But no more lentils this week! Enjoy!

looks great as usual! I ADORE eggplant.. unfortunately, it's been very expensive here lately, so I haven't bought any. I may have to cave in though.
Hi Catherine! I'm working on warming up to eggplant too - but I think in a dish like this that the other flavours would be strong enough to help me through. Beautiful dish!
Hi Catherine! That TJ's Korma Sauce is one of my favorites. Now why didn't I think to add lentils to it??? I will definitely be try that dish!!! Thanks!
