About

Eggs take extremely well to spices and I always find this dish useful for my vegetarian mother-in-law because it is substantial enough to make a main meal, accompanied by a bowl of Basmati Rice. The cucumber adds a refreshing texture.

Ingredients

2 medium-size aubergines
1-inch (2.5 cm) piece fresh ginger

Method

Cut the aubergines into 2-inch (5 cm) slices, rub all over with salt and leave in a colander for half an hour (to drain away any bitter juices). Peel the ginger and garlic and chop finely together.

Heat the oil in a flame-proof casserole, add the chopped ginger and garlic and the dry spices and fry for a minute or two. Rinse the salt off the aubergines, dry them and add to the casserole
