Ingredients
  • 2 aubergines
  • 1 garlic clove cut into 6 pieces lengthwise
  • 1 red pepper
  • 2 large onions, finely diced
  • 3 tomatoes, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons coriander powder
  • ½ teaspoon garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon chilli powder (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon mango powder (optional)
  • chopped fresh coriander to garnish
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
  2. Stud the two aubergines with the pieces of garlic and wrap each aubergine individually in tin foil, place the aubergines onto a baking tray.
  3. Wrap the red peppers in foil and bake together with the aubergine at 200 degrees until they are soft. This will take about 30-40 minutes depending on the size of your aubergines.
  4. While the vegetables are roasting, fry the onions in a little olive oil until they are light brown.
  5. Add the tomatoes to the onion mixture and stir through and add in all the spices.
  6. Peel and mash the aubergine and pepper with the back of a fork, reserving any juices and add them to the onion tomato herb mixture.
  7. Add the mashed aubergine and peppers to the onion tomato mixture and cook until the liquid reduces and the mixture turns brown.
  8. When the mixture has cooked through, add a ¼ teaspoon of the optional mango powder.
  9. Serve with rice or naan sprinkled with fresh coriander.
