  We adapted this recipe quite a bit, but it was one of the nicest curries we've had: we used a thai yellow curry paste (shop-bought) instead of making our own, slightly reduced the stock (it was pretty 'saucy' anyway!) and also replaced half the aubergine with chicken breast pieces, prepared and cooked in the same manner as the aubergine. Amazing.

  Best aubergine curry i have ever made. Browned the aubergines in batches, took quite a bit longer than 15mins to simmer but i had plenty of time. Fabulous.
