Wow. Your handmade card for her is delightful. <br /><br />Like you I love the colour purple and am wearing it a lot more now, than I did in my youth - other than the lipstick! So pleased you liked the dish and thank you sooooo much for the link to my blog. I have eaten purple peppers once in my life and that was when I was in Glasgow, will have to try and seek them out while they are still around. I was never much of an aubergine person, but have only come to like them over the past few years, secret is cooking them well. You must try and make some aubergine bhaji's/pakoras, just follow a traditional potato-onion recipe and add some thinly sliced aubergine to it. I think you will like!Shaheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602971207085826708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071887948069388238.post-91681392704102690452013-08-14T09:01:02.267+01:002013-08-14T09:01:02.267+01:00That looks scrummy, I do like a curry.

If I have ever made a moussaka I use sliced potatoes instead. Your curry looks delicious though, I adore spicy food!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00462752559193522943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071887948069388238.post-77413269152881776742013-08-13T12:14:03.395+01:002013-08-13T12:14:03.395+01:00My Hb doesn't like aubergines either, so we re...My Hb doesn't like aubergines either, so we really don't have them either. I don't mind them and quite like moussaka.<br />Thanks for the link, will have a look, the food does look delicious!<br />I have to admit to having never seen a purple pepper, that veg almost looks to pretty to cut into.<br />Happy birthday to your Gran, the card is beautiful!:)<br />V xxx<br />greenrabbitdesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562034074399686544noreply@blogger.com
