This food is from a street stall at the Thursday night farmer's market in Redlands, California. I chose Baby Eggplant in Tamarind Sauce and Lima Beans in Spinach; this second dish gave me the protein as it was all served over rice (rice and beans making a complete protein). I also wanted the Cabbage Cashew, which would have helped to make a better picture, but they didn't have it. I didn't taste any tamarind in the eggplant (tamarind should be quite sour), but all the food was soft, succulent, and spicy. I love eggplant as long as it's well cooked (and this was cooked so well that even the eggplant peel was very tender), but with Indian food it's all about the spices, and this vegetarian street food came through with great spice. I spilled some drops of curry on my T-shirt, and it left the yellow stains of healthy turmeric. Because of my camera's flash, you can really see the yellow color in the picture. The food was a little oily, but the taste was delicious, and it was nice to eat it outside in the fresh evening air.
