Spicy Drumstick Eggplant Curry

This is one of my favorites which is a combination of drumstick and eggplant fry with spices. I can just have this daily. I don't buy eggplants so very often and when I buy I make sure I have the frozen drumsticks lying in my fridge:). This curry is perfect with white rice and ghee. (I pour more ghee thou' :)). Also goes well with chapathi/roti/pooris.
