  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds

How to make Eggplant Curry


Cut eggplant into 1-inch cubes, sprinkle with salt and set aside while you prep other ingredients. When ready to cook, rinse eggplant and pat dry. I like to pan-grill the eggplant before adding to the curry sauce in order to get a nice smoky flavor, but you can just throw the uncooked eggplant into curry sauce to cook directly if you mind the hassle.

Heat oil and add the cumin seeds. Toss around for a bit and then add bay leaf, chili peppers, ginger and garlic. When the spices have infused the oil, throw in the onion. Once the onion is translucent, add the ground spices and tomatoes. Cook it down for a bit and then add the broth and yogurt. Simmer until it’s almost to the desired consistency and then season with salt and add eggplant. When eggplant is tender, transfer curry to plate and garnish with some chopped cilantro leaves. Serve with rice or naan bread.
