Join us in Eat the World..as we celebrate Christmas - Secret Santa party, wherein we are asked to make a recipe of that blog of any recipe post with #EattheWorld.
I am given Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm and I have chosen Tepsi Baytinjan.
Check the above link for the original recipe. I have made just two minor changes in the recipe- added curry powder to the meatballs and other is that I rolled the meatballs in the eggplant slice. I took a small size dish -6" square dish it was small for the quantity, while baking the sauce spilled over so take a 7" dish for baking for this much quantity. You can used lamb or mutton mince to make this dish.

Ingredients
1 Medium Eggplant- sliced into thin slices
1 Medium Onion - sliced
2 Medium Tomatoes - sliced
3 + 3 Cloves Garlic - minced
250 Grams Beef mince
1/2 Teaspoon Curry Powder
