## Directions
|
|
|
|
1. Heat the oven to approximately 200 °C (392 °F).
|
|
2. Cut the eggplant into 1 cm (⅓") slices and place on a tray. Cover with a layer of oil and bake for 20 minutes.
|
|
3. Cook the sliced onions with oil until soft on medium (about 5-6 minutes).
|
|
4. Add the garlic, garam masala, turmeric and ground coriander and allow to release aroma for a minute or two.
|
|
5. Tip in the canned tomatoes and coconut milk. Add the eggplant, and chunks of potato.
|
|
- It is possible to add additional vegetables at this step. I have on occasion added carrots and red peppers (capsicums).
|
|
7. Cover and simmer for ~15-20 minutes.
|
|
8. Boil 2 serves of rice
|
|
9. Remove the lid and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until reduced.
|
|
- A nice optional addition at this point is paneer.
|
|
10. Serve with the rice
