Hi, Ray here again.
Time to try out another delicious curry recipe from the Curry Focus website. I had been given two large eggplants so it was an easy decision to cook an eggplant dish. There is a very easy recipe for Eggplant Curry on the website.
I already had everything in the kitchen for the curry, not difficult seeing that there are relatively few ingredients.
It was really a very easy curry to make.
First, I cut up and soaked the eggplants in a very large bowl.
I prepared everything else whilst the eggplant was soaking and there was even time to sit down and enjoy a relaxing cup of coffee and read of the paper (cooking does not have to be hard work).
Then the cooking actually started.
I heated up the oil and fried all of the spices before adding the eggplant and tomatoes.
I added the lemon juice after 5 minutes and reduced the heat to simmer the curry for 10 minutes.
I had earlier decided to make some naan bread to go with the curry.
Earlier in the day I had prepared the dough and experimented with cooking the naan. I had already preheated the oven for when the simmering of the eggplant started and I cooked the naan bread whilst the eggplant was simmering.
It was all ready at the same time and I served up the eggplant with a side of the naan bread.
The eggplant curry was a hit. It was a spicy medium to hot and scored a respectable rating of 7.5 out of 10 from the dinner tasters.
As well as being easy to cook, it’s a healthy curry that I shall definitely be making again.
