Description:
A taste of India~ vegan and spicy

Ingredients:
1 small eggplant
1 tomato, diced
2 leaves of bok choy, chopped
1 handful of baby French beans, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1/2 med onion
1/2 tbsp ginger, grated
1/2 tbsp garlic, minced
1 tbsp curry powder (with salt)
1/4 tsp chilli flakes
1/4 tsp mixed herbs
1/4 milk

Directions:
1. Put all ingredients except the milk in a claypot. Bring to boil (carefully as a claypot is very unpredictable), and simmer for 15 min.
2. Stir in milk and bring to boil again before serving with rice or bread.

Remarks:

Whoa I almost developed GERD from this! A real spicy kick! I served it with a toasted wholemeal bread (and prayed that I wouldn't get a tummyache as it was expired 3 days ago), and an apple after which. It didn't taste like the ones that I have tried before from Indian stalls, but it's still a notable first attempt at making vegetable curry and there was not weird aftertaste or dryness in the mouth or throat too (msg-free)!

I've tried to reduce the portions but the final quantity was still suitable for two people. So here's one more bowl for your viewing pleasure:

Despite the rave review, I still feel that a good curry requires a little meat to truly bring out the flavour, say, chicken! ^ ^ and also a very good curry powder mix. Mine's ok only, hope I'll be able to find some nice mixes next time around!
