Potato and Eggplant (Aubergine) Curry
A simple and tasty curry that is easy to customise.
Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant (aubergine)
- 2 medium potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 onions (finely sliced)
- 2 garlic cloves (crushed)
- 2 tsp [garam masala](garam-masala.html)
- 2 tsp turmeric
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 400 ml can chopped tomatoes
- 400 ml can coconut milk
- rice
Optional extras
- carrots
- red peppers (capsicums)
- paneer
Directions
1. Heat the oven to approximately 200 °C (392 °F).
2. Cut the eggplant into 1 cm (⅓") slices and place on a tray. Cover with a layer of oil and bake for 20 minutes.
3. Cook the sliced onions with oil until soft on medium (about 5-6 minutes).
4. Add the garlic, garam masala, turmeric and ground coriander and allow to release aroma for a minute or two.
5. Tip in the canned tomatoes and coconut milk. Add the eggplant, and chunks of potato.
- It is possible to add additional vegetables at this step. I have on occasion added carrots and red peppers (capsicums).
7. Cover and simmer for ~15-20 minutes.
8. Boil 2 serves of rice
9. Remove the lid and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until reduced.
- A nice optional addition at this point is paneer.
10. Serve with the rice
