I cut the aubergine quite fine - about 5mm cubes, it really helps cut down the cooking time. Also aubergine reacts very oddly with salt and it becomes quite sweet, it's quite astonishing, but yes when frying add salt to add sweetness and check for sweetness at the end to adjust if necessary with…

Such a delicious midweek meal. Didn’t have tamarind paste so switched in brown sauce and a touch of golden syrup instead, it somehow worked! Will have this one on repeat.

Really tasty. Made it with half aubergine, half chicken as not veggie but want to eat less meat.

Anything with peanut butter in it is a winner and this is no exception - one of my veggie curries to make!
