Description

This is one of my favorite 30-minute weeknight recipes. Turmeric (curcuma) is a bright yellow spice primarily found in India and Indonesia, and is one of the main ingredients in curry. It adds an exotic color and flavor to any dish.

  • ½ red onion, chopped
  • 1 small eggplant, cubed

  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth

  4. garlic
