I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Describe the preparation steps of your recipe
Add mustard seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds and peppercorns to clean, dry TM bowl and dry roast 5 mins/Varoma/speed 1. Mill 1 minute/speed 9.
Add paprika, chilli, garlic, ginger and turmeric and process 5 seconds/speed 7. Scrape down and repeat until a coarse paste forms. Add the vinegar and oil and process 5 seconds/speed 7. Scrape down and repeat until a smooth paste forms.
IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE to eggplant bitterness as others in my family are, please prepare the eggplant as follows. Otherwise, don't bother
A couple of hours before you're ready to cook, take your diced eggplant and spread out on a tray, cover generously with salt, tilt the tray up slighty, and let drain for a couple of hours. The salt will draw out the bitter juices of the eggplant.
Tip the eggplant into a colander and wash thoroughly to get all the salt off. When you're ready to add eggplant to the curry (halfway through the recipe), squeeze handfuls of the eggplant to get more of the juices out before adding it to the pot.
Preheat oven to 180˚C (160 fanforced). Place curry paste, tomato paste, tomatoes and stock in baking dish and stir to combine. Add the lamb, skin side down, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the curry leaves and cover with foil and/or tight fitting lid. Roast 2 hr 30 minutes. Increase the temperature to 200˚C (180 fanforced). Remove foil, turn the lamb, add the diced eggplant and roast for a further 30-40 minutes or until lamb is tender. If using pea eggplants, add these with 10 minutesto go and cook until tender. Note: I found my lamb was not tender but was drying out on top, so I turned down the oven to 120C (100 fanforced). I let it cook for another 1 hr 30 minutes, spooning juices over the meat occasionally. Until the meat was falling off the bone and the liquid had reduced to a desired consistency.
Top with mint and coriander leaves and serve with cucumber and mint raita.
Add mint leaves to clean, dry TM bowl and chop 3 seconds/speed 7. Add cucumber and chop for 1 second/speed 5 or until desired consistency. Add yoghurt and lime juice and mix 2 seconds/
"Counter-clockwise operation" /speed 3. Set aside in a serving dish.

Tip
I'm going to try this again soon, and will come up with a more straight forward temperature & time. I'm guessing 130 degrees, for 5-6 hours?Will get onto it asap!!
There will be some salt remaining on the eggplant, so take note not to season the curry with extra salt until it has finished cooking, as the liquid will reduce and intensify!
