NUTRITIONAL INFO PER SERVING

Saute onions in oil in a skillet. Meanwhile, crush eggplant, nuts, tomato, apple and garlic on a slab or pound into a paste with mortar and pestle, adding water if needed to form a soft mass. (Tiny lumps are fine). Blend spices into the paste, and then stir all into the soft onions. Taste and adjust spice level--it is easy to add at this point. Quickly whisk in enough water to make the spiced vegetable sauce like thick soup. Pour over warm rice. Garnish with raisins or coconut if desired.
