Chicken and Aubergine Curry

Curry Night :-)

One of my favourite curries is this one here. If you want, you can substitute the vegetables with others or change the chicken for lamb.

Ingredients:

• 1 chicken breast, cut into small chunks
• 1 green pepper, cut into dice
• 1 medium size aubergine, also cut into dice
• 400 ml canned tomato or passata
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1 walnut-size piece of ginger, minced
• 1 1/2 tsp garam masala
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp paprika powder
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tsp cumin seeds, crushed
• pepper, salt and chili to taste

And how to make it:

• heat some oil in a pan
• add garlic, ginger and onions, fry until softened, add the cumin 
• add the chicken and brown 
• add the other dry spices and the green pepper
• fry 5 mins, then add the tomato 
• add the aubergine and the bay leaf and cover
• cook for 25-30 mins
• when cooked, season with salt, pepper and chili to taste
• serve with rice and/or naan
• sprinkle with fresh coriander

That's it, quick and easy curry for saturday night!
