unnecessary). Simmer in fresh water for 15 minutes. Drain & reserve
cooking water. Slice eggplant into rounds 1/2" thick & place in a
colander. Sprinkle with salt & let stand 5 minutes. Heat oil in casserole.
Brown eggplant with 1 tb chopped onions, 1 tb chopped ginger, 1 jalapeno,
whole garlic & bell pepper for 5 minutes. Remove eggplant & set aside. Add

paste, cayenne, curry powder & pepper sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add

too short a time, allow a good 20 minutes before adding the green beans &
eggplant).
