This eggplant stew is one of my dad's favourite dishes so every time I make it, it reminds me of my dad ❤︎
It's also has been proven to be a popular dish between my Japanese friends and family 👍🏼

This time I made it with extra tomato and cubed chicken breast pieces instead of the usual lamb to make it a bit more suitable for my current diet and it still was YUMMY ❤️👍🏼😋
