Sweet & Sour Aubergines


Aurbergines are one of my favourite vegetables. I had bought 2 large aubergines yesterday and kept it refrigrated until I could think of something special to make out of it. Then I came across my favorite cook's tv programe last night..'Floyd's India'.. none other than Mr. Kieth Floyd. In the enthusiasm of learning a new recipe from my cooking guru .. I tried out this recipe and it turned out absolutely fantastilious!

Ingredients

2 red onions
2 tomatoes, finely chopped
about 20 fresh curry leaves
300g Aubergines (remove stalk and cut cube sized)
2 tablespoon coconut powder
1 tsp chilli pwder
1 tsp coriander pwder
1/2 tsp turmeric pwder
100g tamarind puree
salt
chopped fresh coriander leaves,to garnish

- Heat some oil and saute the onions until they are completly soft.
- Add the tomatoes and continue to cook adding a little water until you have a think gravy.
- Stir in the curry leaves
- Shallow fry the Aubergines in some oil in a separate pan until they are semi cooked.
- Blend in all the other ingredients and add it to the onion gravy. season with salt.
- Cook for 3mins,mixing well, then add the semi-cooked aubergines.
