Roasted Eggplant Curry

Curry is a speciality dish in our house, whether chicken, egg or another protein, it's a comforting dish that reminds me of home. Our Roasted Eggplant Curry is a take on a vegetarian curry which has a Thai, Caribbean and Indian influences as it incorporates wild and brown rice, cilantro, and yogurt. I have never had yogurt with curry, but the zing and tanginess of the sheep yogurt melding with the spicy curry, earthy rice and roasted eggplant left me licking the bowl and returning for seconds.
