Aubergine & Potato Curry (Aloo Baingan)

A flavourful vegetable curry consisting of aubergines and potatoes.

Makes 8 Servings | Preparation Time: 30 minutes | Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 Medium Onions (finely chopped)
  • 2 Aubergines (500g, sliced)
  • 700g Potatoes (peeled & quartered)
  • 3 Medium Tomatoes (cut into chunks)
  • ¼ cup Sunflower Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic & Ginger Paste
  • ½ tablespoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Garam Masala
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon Fenugreek Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Red Chilli Powder
  • 500ml Water

Method:

  • To a large pan on a high heat, add the sunflower oil and onions. Cook onions, stirring regularly, until lightly brown.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and cook until soft. Add a dash of water to the pan if too sticky.
  • Add in the salt, spices and garlic & ginger paste and stir until combined.
  • Add the aubergines and potatoes, giving the pan a good mix. Cover with water and bring to the boil.
  • Turn the heat down, and allow the curry to simmer on a low heat for 40 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy. Best served with chappatis, although we regularly enjoy aloo baingan with rice.

Tip: If you prefer a curry with less liquid, cook for a further 10 minutes on a medium heat with no pan lid.
