  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!!

  Ooh was I disappointed and we had shed loads left over as well! We added garlic (thank you) and shoved it through the blender again and added a dash of coconut milk. It was much, much better. But I'll be cooking the aubergine in the oven if I dare try this again!

  Very very bland. I added salt and pepper and also some mango chutney. Doubled the recipe so I could freeze some. Wish I hadn't!!!

  My word! Bit of a sloppy mess, NOT a good look. Had to serve an omelette instead, Embarrassing. 1 Star, Maximum. If we lose tips because of this I expect you to make it up to us bbcgoodfood.com!!

  I think the onion mix had quite a good smell and flavour. I fried it for a bit longer than it said but once the water was added all that was lost. Either it needs less water or more spices. I would also peel the aubergine first as the skin was very tough and cook it longer as it was still quite firm in the time it was meant to soften. I am going to try what SW77 suggested above and if that doesn't work, the recipe card is going in the bin!

  Horrible..... but it looks so good on the picture. The aubergines went all water and were horrible to chew. The dish itself was bland (and that was after adding garlic and chilli myself). I even used cream rather than yoghurt for it to be more indulgent... it wasn't. I couldn't finish mine. My other half did, but probably out of politeness. I won't be making this again. 0 stars intentional.
