Eggplant- Ping Tung Long

Very nice eggplant to cook in a curry sauce. The recipe doesn't have to be complicated, just some diced onion, carrot and Ping Tun Long Eggplant cooked in a curry sauce with some spices and herbs of your choice and taste and served on rice will result in a very tasty filling meal.
