“I doubt that the imagination can be suppressed. If you truly eradicated it in a child, he would grow up to be an eggplant.”
-Ursula LeGuin, Writer

The refrigerator light goes on...

I love cooking with paneer. It's a medium fat cheese with 8 grams of fat in a serving, but there's no sodium added. While this makes for a mild cheese, I think that it works as a perfect complement to full flavored sauces and spicy foods.

Eggplant Nutrition

The flavor of eggplant is fantastic and the great thing about it is that it is so good for you. There are virtually no calories in eggplant (about 20 calories in a cup of raw fruit). It has very little fat or carbohydrates but it has tons of fiber (2 grams in a cup).

This recipe does not make very good leftovers.

1 tsp	olive oil
1 small	onion (sliced)
4 ounces	crimini mushrooms (quartered)
1 large	carrot (peeled and cubed)
1	eggplant (about 1/2 pound) (cut into large cubes)
1 tsp	curry powder
1/4 cup	light coconut milk
1/8 tsp	salt
1/2 tsp	sugar
1 3/4 cup	water
	fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1/3 cup	raisins
3 ounces	paneer cheese (cubed)
3 ounces	rice noodles

Mix together the water, curry powder, coconut milk, sugar, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

Place the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet (one with a lid) over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, tossing frequently, for two minutes.

Add the carrot, eggplant and mushrooms, toss together, and cover. Reduce heat to medium. Cook for 6-8 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the eggplant begins to soften.

Add the curry mixture, rice noodles and raisin, cover, and allow to cook for 5 minutes. Stir and add paneer. Toss and recover.

Cook for another 3 – 5 minutes until the noodles are done.
