Masala Aubergine

• 

This recipe was one of the first I ever learnt to cook, all on my own, when I was a teenager. My mum was proud and I couldn’t believe my eyes. I still make this dish once in a while. It tastes fantastic with roti or naan.

Believe it or not, this recipe is pretty straight forward to make and super comforting to eat. If you have been reading my blog, you will notice that I am a sucker for easy, painless, quick, yet – great looking and tasting food. This one ticks all those boxes.
