(Serves 2)
Ingredients:
neutral oil for frying (we love using coconut butter if you have it)
1 aubergine, cut into large wedges
1 onions, chopped
5cm knob ginger, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 red chilli
zest and juice of 1 lime
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp turmeric
black pepper
½ tsp chilli powder
200ml coconut milk
15g tamarind paste
100g peanut butter
1 tbsp coriander, roughly chopped
1 tbsp chopped roasted salted peanuts
Method
Preheat your oven to 180C.
Spread the aubergine wedges on a lined baking tray and roast for approx. 30 mins, until golden and tender.
Fry the onions until golden brown.
Add the garlic, ginger, chilli, and lime zest, and cook for 2 more mins.
Stir in the spices and toast for another 2 mins, until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk, tamarind paste, and peanut butter and bring to a gentle simmer.
Season to taste, then stir in the roasted aubergine.
Serve with rice, a generous sprinkle of fresh coriander, chopped peanuts, and extra chilli if you fancy a kick!
Finish with a squeeze of lime juice.
Could this recipe be frozen for a short while with any success after adding the aubergine to the sauce?
Hi Rachel,
Yep you can freeze no problem but best to add them after you can as they can be slightly mushy.
Happy Cooking! Ax
