I am really perplexed about this curry. I used to make this so many times before perfectly, but from last 2-3 times its becoming a disaster. when I get eggplant out from oven eggplant’s skin looks as it should be, but insides are too hard and seeds are little big too. I am not sure if that can be fault of selecting wrong temperature or the eggplants were too ripe. I had selected 450F for 40 mins.
I assumed something was wrong with my selection of eggplants, but when it happened third time, I am not sure. I have been using big eggplants we find in american stores.
Just a few things that we can think of:
– the eggplant is ripe – the seeds are big, darker and bitter
– the temp. mentioned on our page is 400 and not 450…
Try and pick an eggplant that has green stem, is firm and glossy…Good Luck!

I have a daughter married to a German in Penzberg/Germany. Thanks to you that he has started appreciating Indian foods and my daughter is working towards becoming an expert! Thanks so much for the hard work in helping our young wives cook. You are actually encouraging them to go to their husbands’ hearts through their stomachs! lol. Thanks girls, you are both so awesome 🙂 God bless you.
