"This is alovely mixture of vegetables. Exotic eggplant mixed with peppers nd garlic - great combination. I like to cook my rice in vegetable broth - it adds flavour. If you can find the small Japanese eggplants they are great. You may substitute tumeric for the expensive saffron but it is not the same. The original recipe is from a murder mystery book (I can't remember the title) with some tweaking by me. Instant brown rice works and it is a short cut to cooking it for 30 minutes"
