Eggplant Curry with Turmeric Cauliflower Rice image

Eggplants are fantastic flavor carriers, making them perfect for veggie curries. Cauliflower rice is easy to make at home: either pulse the cauliflower in a food processor, or coarsely grate, until it resembles grains of rice.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
One 2 1/2-centimeter (1-inch) piece of ginger, peeled and grated
3 eggplants, cubed
2 teaspoons nigella seeds or black mustard seeds
2 teaspoons garam masala
One 400-gram (14-ounce) can chopped tomatoes
200 grams (7 ounces) plain yogurt, plus extra to serve
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
800 grams (1 pound 12 ounces) riced cauliflower

Steps:

  • Heat half the oil in a large saute pan and gently fry the onion for 6 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for 1 minute, then add the rest of the oil and the eggplants. Increase the heat and brown the eggplants on all sides.
  • Add the nigella (or mustard) seeds, garam masala, tomatoes and plenty of seasoning, reduce the heat and bubble for 15 minutes until the eggplant is lovely and tender and the sauce has thickened.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the cauliflower rice: heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the garlic and turmeric for 30 seconds, then add the riced cauliflower and a splash of water. Cover and steam for 5 minutes until hot and tender. Season well.
  • Stir the yogurt through the curry and allow to simmer gently for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with the cauliflower rice and an extra dollop of yogurt

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my eggplant curry turned out really runny. Maybe I didn't cook it long enough?

I thought this dish was just okay. The eggplant was a bit too mushy for my taste, and the curry sauce was a little bland. I probably wouldn't make this again.
