Instructions

A popular south Indian curry that is perfect for breakfast or even a special occasion and so delicious served with steaming idlis or pongal. This simple version using Aubergines is easy to cook for a midweek meal and perfect with plain rice. I prefer cooking it with ghee although you can leave it out for a vegan friendly option. Any vegetables work well in this recipe instead of aubergines too.
