#  Spicy Peanut Aubergine Curry  


Healthy curries are the ultimate way to give yourself a dose of comfort any night of the week. This recipe is wonderfully rich and filling, with a smoky spice and satisfying crunch that's heightened and harmonised with a zingy yoghurt. Our tip? Make big batches of the spice mixture, and freeze it into ice cube trays for individual portions. Ideal for these cold dark months after a hard day of work...

Ingredients

    2 red peppers (from a jar)  

   5 garlic cloves  

   Thumb of ginger  

   2 lemon grass (bottom chopped and tough outer layer removed)  

   3 shallots  

   4 lime leaves  

   Medium bunch of coriander stalks  

   5 red chillies, deseeded  

   2 tsp of smoked paprika  

   1 tsp of ground cumin  

   2 tsp of ground coriander  

   1 x 400ml tin of coconut milk  

   250ml of stock  

   1 tbsp of tamarind  

   2 big aubergines, cut into large 2in chunks  

   2 tsp of cumin seeds  

   1 tbsp of crunchy peanut butter  

   Squeeze of maple syrup  

   Juice of 1 lime  

 



  

 Optional:  


   4 tbsp of yoghurt  

   2 limes, zested and juiced  

   1 tbsp of finely chopped shallot  

   1 tsp of ground cumin  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

Blitz your curry paste to a smooth paste, add a little water if need be.



 Step 2 

Heat a large frying pan and, in batches, fry your aubergine over a high heat in a little groundnut oil until golden all over, adding cumin seeds at the last few minutes to crisp up with it.



 Step 3 

Now, in a pot, heat some coconut butter over a medium heat and add your paste, making sure it doesn’t catch (lower the heat if need be). Keep cooking until fragrant. If it's starting to dry out or catch, add a little water.



 Step 4 

Now add the stock, coconut milk and tamarind, and simmer for 5 minutes until infused. Then, add the aubergine and a good squirt of honey and slowly simmer for a further 15 minutes, before adding peanut butter and mix through and infuse for a few more minutes.



 Step 5 

Finish with a good squeeze of lime. Now taste to see for adjustments – maybe more spice, salt or tang needed.



 Step 6 

Mix the yoghurt mixture and season.



 Step 7 

Serve with steamed rice and garnish with toasted chopped peanuts, freshly chopped coriander, chilli and a dollop of the yoghurt mixture.
