My Easy Creamy Eggplant (Aubergine) Curry Recipe
I love eggplant but sometimes its difficult to know what to do with them! I do however think that eggplants, or aubergines, go really well in certain curries, and quite frequently add them to my Lentil Curry
This eggplant curry recipe is delicious and its hard to believe that a good portion of this creamy eggplant curry is low in calories, low in fat, satisfying and healthy! You can even cut back on the calories by using the lower fat Greek yoghurt!
This curry will keep you warm as the autumn nights draw in!
This easy vegetarian eggplant curry recipe serves 4 but can easily be halved for two people. Serve it with basmati rice or mango chutney on the side.
This lens is one in my series of 'Healty Vegetarian Recipes'.

I wouldn't be without my kitchen blender

Amazon Price: (as of 12/23/2009)
This is without a doubt one of the handiest gadgets I have in my kitchen! I can honestly say that having had one for the past three years I wouldn't be without one now!
They are so useful for making pastes, dressings and for chopping up smaller amounts of ingredients! The unit is much smaller than a food processor and can be more practical and far quicker than getting out the food processor and it is much easier to store and to clean afterwards!

- Welcome to the Curry Temple Group! Another tasty recipe - I normally avoid aubergines as I never really know what to do with them. Some recipes say to salt them to draw out the bitter taste. Now you've provided the solution to the aubergine dilemma! Thanks.
