Method

  1. Whizz all the curry paste ingredients together in a food processor until you have a rough paste (add water to help).
  2. Heat 3 tbsp groundnut oil in a large pan or wok and cook the aubergines until golden. Scoop out. Fry the paste in a little of the coconut milk until fragrant. Add the rest of the coconut milk, stock and turmeric and bring to a simmer. Add back the aubergine and simmer until it's tender but holding its shape, around 10 minutes.
  3. Scatter with coriander leaves and serve with a bowl of steamed basmati rice.

    I also added potatoes and half the veggie stock suggested. It's a good and interesting recipe.

    Giving this recipe the benefit of the doubt, as though more of a 3* I think I added too much stock. Still, I think nearer 200ml of stock (or less) would improve things. One other thing to note: if using home made vegetable stock (i.e. not from a cube/concentrate), the recipe really requires a little extra salt.

    Really nice dish.... I cut the aubergines up a bit smaller than shown in pic. And serve as a side dish, make more paste and freeze it for next time.

    Can easily be changed - (lime,soy,fish sauce) It is a tad runny so careful how much stock/milk you use!

    I'm a pretty good cook when it comes to curries and this one leaves a bit to do if you follow the recipe. Agree with previous comments that flavours too weak(suspect the addition of stock waters down the spice mix). Broke my cardinal rule of never cooking something for the first time for guests and relied on the judicious addition of curry leaves for a swift recovery.

    I found it slightly bland, as if something was missing. I added some ground cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon) and also a very small amount of palm sugar which helped. It was very easy to make, however the instructions could have been a bit more detailed, i.e let it simmer until it reduces down to a thicker consistency - this took longer than the 10 minutes suggested but the result was good.
