SRI LANKAN EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) CURRY
Eggplant is one of my favourite vegetables. This mouthwatering spicy dish is served in Sri Lanka on special occasions such as weddings. So good is it that I would happily eat it every day of the week if not for the high oil content. Definitely not one for calorie counters! It is usually served with a chicken curry and saffron rice. I love it hot, but cold the next day, it is sensational. If you wish, prior to cooking, you can cut each eggplant lengthwise into quarters, sprinkle with the salt and leave uncovered in a single layer for thirty minutes. Rinse the eggplant under a cold tap, pat-dry with kitchen paper, and slice into 1" cubes as directed below. I personally don't bother with the salting process. If you prefer to use baby eggplant, just slice crosswise into 1" cubes. Recipe obtained from a Sri Lankan friend.

Steps:
- Wash the eggplants, remove the stalk, and slice lengthwise into quarters.
- Cut each quarter lengthwise into 1" wide strips and then crosswise into 1" cubes.
- Heat 1-2 inches of peanut oil in a wok to medium-high heat (375F) and deep-fry the eggplant cubes in batches until golden brown (this takes around three to five minutes for each batch, adjusting oil temperature as necessary).
- Drain thoroughly on kitchen paper.
- In a medium-sized pan, heat the extra oil and saute and stir the onion until golden brown.
- Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander and mustard and stir for a couple of seconds before adding the garlic, ginger, chillies and curry leaves.
- Stir and saute for 30 seconds.
- Add the vinegar, coconut milk, salt to taste and the sugar and stir until well mixed.
- Bring slowly to the boil before adding the deep-fried eggplant cubes.
- Stir, then simmer gently on low heat until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
- Taste and season with a little more sugar and/or salt as desired.

Steps:
- Place the aubergine rounds on a sheet pan lined with paper towels, and sprinkle with salt. Cover the aubergine with paper towels, and place a heavy skillet over it to press out the excess moisture. Set the pan aside for 30 minutes, and then quickly rinse the aubergine rounds, and pat dry.
- Place the gram flour, rice flour, chile powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and mango powder into a bowl. Season the mixture with salt, to taste.
- Gradually add the cold water in a thin stream, whisking continuously to form a batter with the consistency of single cream.
- In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 360 degrees F or until a breadcrumb sizzles and turns brown when dropped into it.
- Dip the aubergine rounds into the batter one by one and carefully lower them into the hot oil in batches. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until crisp and golden-brown on both sides, and completely cooked through. Remove the aubergine rounds from the oil with a slotted spoon, and set aside to drain on a sheet pan lined with paper towels. Keep warm on a hot plate. Repeat the process with the remaining aubergines.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a separate frying pan over a medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the curry leaves, if using, and fry for 1 to 2 minutes, or until crisp. Remove the leaves from the pan with a slotted spoon, and set aside on a sheet pan lined with paper towels, and then sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- To serve, divide the spiced aubergines among six serving plates and garnish with the curry leaves.
SPICY STIR-FRIED EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE)
Eggplant is so full of nutrients and is a very filling vegetable as well - great for people who are just getting used to a vegetarian diet and who are missing the 'chunky' texture of meat in a dish. This makes either a very nice vegetarian/vegan main dish or a nice side to compliment an East Indian or Middle Eastern main dish.

Steps:
- Mix the dry spices and 1 tsp salt together in a bowl and set aside.
- Slice the aubergine into 1cm rounds, then score both sides of each round with the tip of a sharp knife. Rub with the spice mix until well coated (you should use all of the mix), then transfer to a board. Put 150ml water in the empty spice bowl with the tomato purée, chilli, ginger and sugar. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and arrange the aubergine in the pan, overlapping the rounds if needed. Fry for 5 mins on each side, or until golden. Add the liquid mix from the bowl, bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 15-20 mins, turning the aubergine occasionally until it's cooked through. If it seems dry, you may need to add up to 100ml more water to make it saucier. Season.
- Scatter over the spring onions and coriander, and serve with rice, yogurt, roti and lime wedges for squeezing over.

SOUTH INDIAN EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) CURRY
This is an adopted recipe that I haven't yet tried. The original chef comments: "My good friend's Indian mother-in-law taught me how to cook this. Auntie (I call her Auntie) is from Hyderabad, is one of the best cooks I know and is very patient! There are a few steps to this recipe and you need some special ingredients, but it is really good, authentic South Indian cuisine. I'm posting some photographs with this recipe so you can see what these ingredients look like. They can all be found at an Indian grocery. Everything is listed in the order in which you will use it. Be brave; if you are patient, willing to take your time and have everything ready before hand, you will be rewarded with a delicious result. (Prep time is approximate and could be a little longer)."
