1,2,3 Easy Aubergine Curry

It's fast, easy and simply wonderful. The curry is tangy, sour, coconuty with a lovely bit of sweetness coming through at the end.

So why is it called 1,2,3 you may wonder...hmmm?

Is really has only 3 steps. 1)prepare the aubagine 2)blend all the other ingredients

3) put it in a pot and cook!

I love this way of cooking...and yes, I'm lazy. Sometimes, having to sauté the onions, cook out the spices, adding each ingredient at the right time seems a bit of a chore which is when a recipe like this one is a lifesaver. Quick and delicious.

Here's how:

1) cut and wash 6 small aubergines in 1/2 cm slices lengthways

2) Blend the following ingredient till it becomes a sauce: 

1 medium onion

2 clove garlic

1 tbsp coconut (dessicated)

1 small tomato

1 tbsp tamarind paste 

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp sugar 

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp coriander

1/4 tsp chilli powder

1/4 tsp tumeric

3/4 tsp salt

6 curry leaves

2 tbsp sunflower oil

3)Add the paste into a hot pot and then add the aubergines till tender and sauce thick

Garnish with fresh coriander and serve with hot naan breads or even with fragrant basmati rice

Hope you enjoy...
