Foodie. Eggplant recipe

Howdy!
Often times we wonder how to make life interesting. The pick me up gesture when you are down, the "I can still do this" even when I feel like I can't.
This is what I do, I COOK.
I've been having a lot of spare time on my hands of late, so I try out new recipes once in a while.
I recently visited Kampala, Uganda and had lunch with a few amazing people.
Food was brought on the table and 2 of my friends couldn't eat eggplant😞😞😞.
I know, I know it's not that appealing but I always say it's how you cook it that matters.
They reminded me of my 2 siblings who couldn't it eggplant with Ugali but when I turned it to chutney they were all over it.
I dedicate the below recipe to my friends Sean Oseku and Toto Mohammed.
You guys should as well try it. Simple and tasty.

Ingredients 

1 medium eggplant

1 medium onion

1 tbsp tomato paste

1 tsp red chili flakes

1/4 tsp salt

2 beef Knorr cubes

1/4 cup cooking oil

Procedure

Cut the eggplant in cubes and set aside.

Place the cooking pan on the cooker and add the cooking oil.

Chop the onion into small pieces and add in the cooking oil. Stir till translucent.

Add your eggplant plus salt and cover till cooked.

Open the cover and add your tomato paste, red chili flakes plus the Knorr cubes.

Let it simmer until you are sure that all the ingredients are well cooked.

Serve with Ugali, rice, naan/chapati, bread or whatever preference.

Enjoy

Like a flash

You one day wake up and notice that all could be lost in just a second
Things you have taken for granted and can't make any changes
People you have taken advantage of simply because of their weaknesses
Would you go back and do it all over again?
Would you repent and say, "I've been bad but I wanna do right"
Would you stick to it because you truly mean it?
Would you just stick to it until your problems are solved?
Like a flash it can all be gone
You won't be able to get it back
You won't be able to ask for it
You won't be able to turn back the hands of time
Like a flash it will all be gone
Regretting?
Wishing?
Hoping?
Those could be the only words that will run through your mind for a long time
Boring huh?
I know this,
You know this,
We know this,
Can we live up to it?

It's a new year and it has taken me almost 2 years to go back to my blog.
Procrastination is a vice, one of the things that lead to failure.

Happy new year.
