1. Whizz the onions, ginger, almonds, curry powder and coriander stalks until pulpy (add a splash of water if needed). Boil the kettle.
2. Heat the oil in a pan, then fry the aubergine for 5 mins until browned. Scoop out and set aside. Add the onion paste, then cook for a few mins, stirring, until the onions soften. Return the aubergine to the pan with the yogurt and 400ml hot water. Stir, then simmer for 10-15 mins until the aubergine is tender. Season, then serve over basmati rice, scattered with coriander and almonds.

  Added 2 cloves garlic to onion mixture, doubled the curry powder and added mushrooms to aubergine and a few spinach leaves at the end - delicious!

  This dish isn't awful, but it's not particularly strong flavoured. The aubergine creates a nice texture: meaty, but not too meaty.

  Delicious! As pointed out earlier, it definitely needs more curry powder and garlic.

  this was okay. I noted the comments about it lacking flavour so added some fresh chilli which gave it a kick. Not sure that I would try it again though.

  I varied all the amounts as to what had in fridge, added green pepper and onion to the auberinges, and reduced the water amount to 300ml, very tasty though if i weren't making a veg option would add pork. Had no coriander so added 1/2 tbsp of green curry paste.

  I tried this once and once was enough! Truly horrible: very bland and I didn't like the texture created by the almonds either. A waste of perfectly good aubergine.

  GOOD LORD this is bad!!! The 0 stars are intentional. Not even chilli and extra greens could save this dish which we could not finish eating!! Very unusual for the Good food website to have such a bad recipe. Most are fantastic!!
