I grew so many eggplants and butternut squash this last winter we’re still eating the squash.
Ingredients:
1 Eggplant
1 Butternut squash
1 large boiling potato ( I used a Yukon Gold)

2 Tbs vegetable oil. I use coconut oil
2 Tbs chopped fresh curry leaves. (if you don’t have these leave them out for there is no substitute)
