Salmon curry with Eggplant and Okra

This is one of the most delicious fish curries there is. I have always liked fish with eggplant/Brinjal. My mom and my grandma were excellent cooks and their fish curries were the best.

The curry I made today may have some Malaysian roots to it. But it is my own version and is super delicious.
