Sweet Potato and Eggplan Hot Pot


Sometimes, when you are stuck for what to cook, open your fridge and see what jumps out at you. That is how this recipe came about, and to our surprise, everyone loved it, including the kids. Made from whole foods it is 100% diabetic friendly.

You are also welcome to make your own variations, however because we are not used to curry, we were pretty conservative with it, but obviously if you feel like more curry, go for it. Goes really well served with some brown rice and a fresh salad on the side. This serving will make enough for about 8 people, so you might even have some left over for lunch the next day.

Enjoy !
