1 large onion
6 g chopped fresh ginger root
15 g crushed garlic
2 pinches ground cinnamon
2 pinches ground black pepper
10 g ground coriander
10 g ground cumin
2 large pinches ground turmeric
2 large pinches cayenne pepper
1 can chopped tomatoes (400ml)
2 red chile peppers, seeded
25 g fresh coriander
100 ml Olive Oil
4 x large potatoes cubed
1 x medium aubergine, cubed
250ml Water
Instructions
1
Heat oil in a small pan medium high heat. Add onion and saute until very brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
2
Add ginger and garlic to onion and saute for an additional 2 minutes. Process onion/ginger/garlic mixture in food processor until smooth.
3
Place onion mixture in a large saucepan. Stir in the cinnamon, black pepper, coriander, cumin, turmeric and cayenne pepper and cook over low heat until mixture is thick and has the consistency of a paste.

6
Reduce heat and simmer for 15 mins
7
Whilst the sauce is simmering, shallow fry the aubergines cubes in plenty of olive oil until nicely brown. Then par boil the potato cubes until they start to soften.
8
Add the potatoes and aubergine to the curry sauce and stir in thoroughly, leave simmering for another 15-20 mins with a lid of, stir occasionally and add water if needed.
