Curried Recipe Recipe For Eggplant Recipe For Stuffed

STUFFED CURRIED AUBERGINES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/gas 5.
• Peel the onion, garlic and ginger, place in a food processor with the coriander stalks and chillies (deseed if you like), and whiz to a fine paste.
• Put the spices and curry leaves into a 25cm x 35cm roasting tray on a low heat with 2 tablespoons of oil and fry for 1 minute, or until smelling fantastic, stirring constantly.
• Tip in the paste and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened, stirring regularly.
• Stir in the peanut butter, mango chutney and tamarind paste, season with a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then scrape into a bowl, adding a splash of water to loosen to a paste, if needed.
• Leaving them intact at the stalk, prick the whole aubergines all over with a fork, cut into quarters lengthways, rub and stuff them generously with all the paste, then arrange them in the tray (if using regular aubergines, simply trim then cut into 1cm-thick rounds and sandwich the paste between them).
• Place the tray on a medium heat and fry for 5 minutes, turning halfway.
• Add the coconut milk, roughly chop and sprinkle over the tomatoes, season well with salt and pepper, and bring to the boil.
• Cover with tin foil and roast for 40 minutes, or until thickened and reduced, removing the foil halfway. Season to perfection and scatter over the coriander leaves. Always good with fluffy rice, poppadoms, yoghurt and extra fresh chilli.

ROASTED EGGPLANT CURRY RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
• Slice the tops off the eggplants, then slice them in half lengthwise. Cut each half once more lengthwise. Lay the slices on their flat sides and cut lengthwise into thirds. Finally, slice horizontally to form cubes.
• Transfer to a baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown.
• In a large saucepan, heat the coconut oil over high hat. Add the onions, stir for 1 minute, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown, about 8 minutes.
• Stir in the chili powder, cardamom, and smoked paprika. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the ground coriander, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, turmeric, garlic, and ginger. Cook for a few minutes more, stirring constantly.
• Add the chopped tomatoes, coconut milk, water, and the roasted eggplant.
• Bring the curry to a simmer, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes. The sauce should reduce and thicken slightly.
• Serve the curry warm over rice, topped with chopped cilantro.
• Enjoy!

UNSTUFFED STUFFED CURRIED EGGPLANT

Steps:

• Fry the corriander and chilis in a bit of oil. Pulse them a few times in a Magic Bullet (or grind otherwise) with the salt until powdered. Then fry the bengal dal, urad dal, coconut and asafoetida in another tiny bit of oil. Add to the Magic Bullet and pulse a bit more until powdered.
• Heat 5-6 teaspoons of oil in a wok (with a lid). Add mustard seeds and cook until they turn grey and pop. Add eggplant and 1/2 cup water and tamarind and powdered mixture. Stir well. Cover wok and cook on low. Stir every 5 minutes and if the eggplant starts to stick, add more water. It will be done when the eggplant is very soft and mushy (about 20-30 minutes). The consistancy should be thick.
• Serve with rice and plain yogurt.
