Method

1

Cube your aubergines. Add them to a pan with no oil and cook on a medium heat until they are shrivelled and browned - you'll have to do this in batches. Remove from the pan and set aside.

2

Add a splash of oil to the pan. Throw in a chopped brown onion, a chopped red pepper, and finely sliced garlic cloves. Add a small knob of grated ginger, turmeric and garam masala. Mix everything together.

3

At this point, get your rice on (cook following pack instructions).

4

Once the onions are softened, add peanut butter and mix it in. Pour in your coconut milk and your chickpeas (chickpea water included).

5

Mix everything together and reintroduce the aubergines.

6

Bubble the curry down until it is nice and thick (should take 5-6 minutes on a medium heat).

7

Add your spinach and allow it to wilt.

8

When the curry is ready, add a handful of chopped coriander and squeeze in the juice of a lime. Season to taste and remove from the heat.

9

Serve the curry on top of your basmati rice and tuck in! Enjoy!
