Alu Baigan / Potato Eggplant stir fry

Time just flies.. Diwali, Dushera are over and now we are looking forward to the festivals here..Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I was was thinking about other recipes to make with the eggplant lying in my refrigerator and the potatoes lying in my pantry. Potatoes and eggplant is a simple combination but yet very tasty and delish. When we were residing in North India, my mom picked up many recipes and techniques from the North India cuisine. My most favorite sabzi's were gilki (which is a squash like vegetable..similar to zucchini ) sabzi, lauki sabzi, tamtar sabzi..and the list goes on. The other day when I was thinking which way to cook potatoes and eggplant, I decided to make this vegetable. It is spicy with lots of goodness of garlic and ginger. I forgot to take a photo of this dish when I made it and remembered only when we had eaten all of it. I will add a photo when I try it the next time. It goes well with roti and curd.
