I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Prick the eggplant with a fork and bake it in a 180° C oven until soft, about one hour.
Remove the eggplant from oven, allow it to cool, and chop it up into large chunks – it should be very mushy. Set it aside in your Thermoserver.
Put the onion and garlic into the TM and chop on speed 7 for 3 seconds. Use spatula to push to the bottom and add oil and cook for 3 minutes at 100 degrees on speed 1.
Add tomatoes and chop on speed 4 for 4 seconds. Use spatula to push to the bottom of the bowl and then add all of the spices except for the salt. Cook for 5 minutes at 100 degrees speed 1 with the simmering basket sitting on top of the lid instead of the MC to prevent splashes.
Add eggplant and peas and cook for 2 minutes at 100 degrees on REVERSE speed 1 until combined and heated through. (May take longer if the eggplant was not kept warm in the Thermoserver.)
OPTIONAL: raise the speed to speed 3-4 to mash the whole mess together if you’d rather have a smoother mix. If you prefer it chunky, omit this step.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with rice.
Tip
This works well as a vegetarian main curry, or as a side dish for an Indian feast.

What a great addition to curry night; thanks for the recipe
Loved this recipe, was delicious and not difficult to make.
Lovely curry, I did add a sachet of tomato paste and a can of chickpeas. I cooked the eggplant in my air fryer for 30 minutes at 180 degrees c.
This was a great curry. I added a can of chickpeas, a tablespoon of tomato paste and 3/4 cup of coconut cream I had left over. I also added zucchini instead of peas.
Sensational! I really loved this recipe, as did my husband and 13 year old (the 11 year old not so much but mainly as he's not an eggplant fan). Like others I added chickpeas. It's going in the favourites.
As suggested, I added in a can of chickpeas and a can of lentils to make it more substantial as a stand alone meal and it was delicious. Thank you
My husband and I are trying new vegetarian dishes

Yummy Curry
Followed the instruction, only made one change, I add extra curry powder as we love hot curries. This was great and will be making again. Thanks for sharing.
Very tasty. Added tinned lentils & chickpeas cooking an extra 5 minutes.
Great dish! Very tasty and so easy to make!
