Cooking Steps
1
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Trim and chop the aubergine into 2cm pieces. Pop the pieces onto a large (lined) baking tray.
- Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle over the North Indian spice mix. Toss to coat, then spread out in a single layer.
- Roast the aubergine until golden brown and turning soft, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through.
2
- While the aubergine cooks, pour 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium, cover and cook for 10 mins.
- Remove the pot from the heat.
- Keep covered for 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
3
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
- Place a separate large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened and turning brown, 5-6 mins.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve.
4
- Add the curry paste to the pot and cook, stirring, for 1 min.
- Add 350ml water, ½ tsp sugar (double both for 4p), vegetable stock powder, chickpeas and passata.
- Bring to the boil. Once boiling, lower heat to medium and cook until the sauce has reduced, 10-15 mins.
- Stir regularly to prevent sticking. Add a splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
5
- Once the sauce has reduced, add the spinach a handful at a time, stirring until wilted, 2-3 mins.
- Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
- Stir half the roasted aubergine, half the yoghurt and half the coriander into the curry.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper.
6
- Once everything is ready, fluff up the rice with a fork and divide between bowls.
- Top with the chickpeas, remaining roasted aubergine and remaining yoghurt.
- Finish with a scattering of the remaining coriander.
