Swiss chard with Eggplant

Swiss chard is so easy to grow. You cut leaves and it keeps growing back. 1st picture is of today’s harvest and 2nd picture is how it turned into dish.

Chard with eggplant is odd combination and you won’t see much but it taste good. I made using Indian spices. You can just make a side dish with it too.

  • Use olive oil and sauté some chopped /crushed garlic.
  • Add chopped eggplant , chard.
  • Use your Indian spices or just add salt.
  • Once cooked add some chopped tomato.
  • Cook tomato for a minute and that’s it.
  • You can also add some cashews for crunch.
  • Takes hardly 5 minutes to cook.
  • Enjoy!

Eggplant With Onion

Eggplant with onion makes a quick, simple side dish. Eggplant is everywhere in summer so try it out. I make it with Indian spices but you can make with spices you like.

  • Use olive oil and add some chopped garlic.
    Add sliced onion and sauté for a minute.
    Add sliced egg plant and add spices, salt. Cover and cook.
    It cooks quickly in few minutes.
    You can use cumin powder , crushed pepper.
    If you like potato , add thinly sliced potato and cook until potato is done. Add little water if needed.
    You can top with roasted peanuts too.
    Eat as a side dish or find your own way.
  • Here’s recent observation through social media. When we praise anything or anyone , it’s more abt glorifying ourselves only. Isn’t it ? Next time observe yourself and think abt it. We need to learn to take backstage when needed and let others shine. Things , ppl whatever it is .
  • Enjoy!

    Last time I went to Indian store, bought Bitter gourds. Have been eating every day little bit. Little bitter every day.

    Ppl remove bitterness from bitter gourd but than it’s no good. Don’t add any sweetener either.

    • Roast methi seeds and make powder. Take tsp of powder every day.
    • I have dry neem leaves. Can make tea from it.
  • Have fun !
