Cooking Instructions

40 minutes (10 minutes prep)
  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200deg C place the whole aubergine on a roasting tray and coat with 0.5 tablespoon of the sunflower oil. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes until soft and set aside.

  2. 2

    Gently fry the onion and garlic on a low heat for 10 minutes til soft and translucent. (add a little water to simmer and stop them burning)

  3. 3

    Turn the hob to a medium heat. Add in the diced pepper and cook for a further 5 minutes.
    Tip in the spices and fry for a minute or two until fragrant. (Don’t burn them)

  4. 4

    Tip in the tinned tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes.
    Add the creamed coconut to the middle of the pan, melt it down & stir in. Pour in 1.5 tins (from the tomatoes) full of water.

  5. 5

    Heat til bubbling then add the chickpeas, cover and leave to simmer for 15 minutes.

  6. 6

    While the curry is simmering, split the aubergine in half and scoop out the flesh. Shred it with two forks and add into the curry for 2 minutes at the end.

    Now stir in the chopped coriander & sprinkle over the almonds.
    I served with fluffy mushroom rice, flatbreads and crispy, roasted, spiced potatoes.
