    This dish is best enjoyed with rice and chapatti. I sometimes tend to have it plain as a stand alone dish. The stuffing will give the aubergine a mellow yummy flavoure and I have to warn you its addictive!

    Sometimes I just don't know what to do with my Vegetables at home.

    I like vegetables but not in masses and I mostly enjoy them in combination with any meat and some carbs such as bread.

    As a kid I had a lots of Veggies and already back then I was never much a fan of them and neither my stomach, who gets very unsatisfied at the prospect of Vegetables.

    Its so unfilling, its simply not contenting!

    On the other hand Vegetables are so healthy, so well doing for our body.

    That placed me into a position where I had to think of a convenient solution to my dilemma.

    So I started to play around by marinating, stuffing and mixing them in a way, so that I could actually enjoy Veggies as main course. 

    Doing that I created several interesting flavours (you know how much fun I have doing that >>> Avocado creux fourré ) Some Ideas of course still need some extra zing, an improvement, and once the recipe development is complete, I ll share my creation with you all.

    Today I have a recipe as such, my version of spicy stuffed Aubergines.

    Surfing through the web I came across many wonderful dishes, some of them are more tempting then others, and some are simply ingenious.

    Some dishes at times give me the feeling they need extra or less flavours to make it all a convenient dish.

    Of course everybody has their own imagination of a awesome memorable meal and nowadays we have a vast amount of ingredients in our disposal, which makes it all easier for our taste buds to choose what we like or not.

    That was the case with my spicy stuffed Aubergine recipe.

    I discovered several interesting stuffed Aubergine recipes such as Torviews Eggplant curry stuffed with coconut recipe and Cookie Shutters Bharli Vaangi .

    The recipes inspired me to create it to my liking, smooth and not too spicy, crunchy filling, soft well cooked vegetable with a relishing sweet fitting sauce.

    I further liked the concept of keeping the stem, transforming the dish into "finger food".

    Believe me it is filling my tummy, and I am jollier then ever after a plate of it, bringing hope into my health diet and a smile on my future selfs face.
