Eggplant Layered Rice on plateThis rice dish has layers of eggplant, ground meat and fragrant spices. It's super hearty and is great for an all-in-one meal. You can use any meat you like. I used ground beef.

  13. Pour in the rest of the rice, then the remainder of the sauce. Sprinkle on the other teaspoon of cinnamon powder on top. Place lid on and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, until you see it steaming. Now, reduce heat to low and place a paper towel under the lid. This will prevent mushiness. Cook for 30 minutes.
