Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan with a lid. Tip in the onions and aubergine and fry for 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft and golden brown.
  2. Tip in the pork and fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown. Mix in the pepper strips and stir fry for about 3 minutes until soft.
  3. Sprinkle in the curry powder. Stir fry for a minute, then pour in the tomatoes and water. Stir vigorously, cover the pan and leave the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes until the tomatoes break down to form a thick sauce (you can add a drop more water if the mixture gets too thick). Season with salt and pepper and serve with basmati rice.

    Quick and easy to make, and there is no compromise in taste. I definitely recommend this to all.

    Absolutly delicious, as per the common theme next time I would add a little more spices as this recipe is VERY mild and it could do with a kick, but it was a def hit and would make again.

    This was a beautifull curry. Just right in flavour. I found organic pork was best for this recipe as some porks can be chewy. My self i prefer succulant and melt in your mouth meat. Organic meat can be quite exspensive, which is why i dont always purchase this meat, in wich case id buy a cheaper version, but cook it in a slow cooker for a good couple of hours. Hey prestowe your meat should now be succulant. Happy eating

    I will try this recipe again but I think I'll add some more spices didn't have enough depth and flavour for our liking.

    Made this with chicken, nothing special and quite runny. Eggplants disappeared into sauce, shame, I love eggplants! Will try again with pork and more eggplants, and will try Gigi's suggestion of cooking it uncovered.

    enjoyed this meal. used medium curry powder to give it a bit more spice. Would use chicken instead of pork next time but probably won't make it again when there are so many other curry recipes which are nicer.

    I made this as I love cooked aubergine, and it was nice enough, but nothing special. I used medium curry powder, but it could have done with something else to give it a bit more flavour/kick. Maybe I'll try curry paste next time as other readers have done.

    Definitely needs extra spice. I used 3 tbsp of hot curry powder for the two of us and it wasn't too hot. Good recipe and will stay in our binder.

    I really enjoyed this. The flavours are good, and it is really warming. The curry powder I used was not mild and it ended up being a little too hot for my taste, but I just added a small pot of sour cream which really did the trick. I will be making this again!

    Made this tonight as had a bit of pork tenderloin left from last night. Really yummy and will definitely be making this again. I added a bit of curry paste (Patak's korma I think) and a bit of curry powder. I also added a sprinkling of cayenne pepper for heat and it turned out really well.

    I'm trying to get my husband to eat more veg and this turned out to be a real winner - he'd always pulled his face about aubgergine but eat it last night and thoroughly enjoyed it even after I told him what it was. This is definitely one I will be doing again. Very simple to make with a delicious outcome.
