The Problem With the Aubergine

So I asked S. why the eggplant didn't turn out.

You didn't use enough spices, he said.

But I put in a lot of spices! Look at the picture -- you can see all kinds of spices on that eggplant!

Then he sent me a link to an Indian cooking blog called Mahanandi. A link to a post all about eggplant curries.

I won't steal the images because they're copyrighted, but if you're curious to know just how much spice is required (and, perhaps, to compare Mahanandi's pictures with my now meagerly spiced eggplant), click here.
