SOUTH INDIAN EGGPLANT CURRY
Eggplant is good steamed or fried, but try making it in the microwave. The timing is forgiving in this recipe from reader Roopa Kalyanaraman, and the texture of the eggplant is mind-blowingly good, soft and not at all oily or soggy. Like steaming, but better.

SRI LANKAN EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) CURRY
Eggplant is one of my favourite vegetables. This mouthwatering spicy dish is served in Sri Lanka on special occasions such as weddings. So good is it that I would happily eat it every day of the week if not for the high oil content. Definitely not one for calorie counters! It is usually served with a chicken curry and saffron rice. I love it hot, but cold the next day, it is sensational. If you wish, prior to cooking, you can cut each eggplant lengthwise into quarters, sprinkle with the salt and leave uncovered in a single layer for thirty minutes. Rinse the eggplant under a cold tap, pat-dry with kitchen paper, and slice into 1" cubes as directed below. I personally don't bother with the salting process. If you prefer to use baby eggplant, just slice crosswise into 1" cubes. Recipe obtained from a Sri Lankan friend.

Steps:
- Wash the eggplants, remove the stalk, and slice lengthwise into quarters.
- Cut each quarter lengthwise into 1" wide strips and then crosswise into 1" cubes.
- Heat 1-2 inches of peanut oil in a wok to medium-high heat (375F) and deep-fry the eggplant cubes in batches until golden brown (this takes around three to five minutes for each batch, adjusting oil temperature as necessary).
- Drain thoroughly on kitchen paper.
- In a medium-sized pan, heat the extra oil and saute and stir the onion until golden brown.
- Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander and mustard and stir for a couple of seconds before adding the garlic, ginger, chillies and curry leaves.

- Add the vinegar, coconut milk, salt to taste and the sugar and stir until well mixed.
- Bring slowly to the boil before adding the deep-fried eggplant cubes.
- Stir, then simmer gently on low heat until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.

BRINJAL (EGGPLANT) CURRY
This aubergine bhaji recipe has won rave reviews from my South Indian in-laws, who have very discerning palates when it comes to authentic currys. This dish can either be used as a side dish, or as a vegetarian main dish. It's easy, delicious and a great way to introduce different veggies to your kids.

Steps:
- Cut the eggplants into 1-inch pieces- preferably keeping at least one side of each piece with the skin on.
- Put the eggplant pieces into a strainer and sprinkle liberally with salt. Place a small plate on top of the eggplant, and a weight on top of the plate- this process draws the excess water out of the eggplant, and it won't be overly salty. Leave for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat 1 1/2 tbsp oil in a heavy pan. When hot, add mustard seeds- they will start to pop in a few seconds. When they begin to pop, add the sliced onions, garlic and ginger. Turn the heat to medium, and cook until mixture is nicely browned.
- Add cayenne pepper, tumeric, garam masala and cumin to the onion mixture. Cook spices for a few minutes, then add water and tomato paste, and reduce heat to low. Let the sauce cook gently, but don't allow it to become dry.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 1/2 tbsp oil over moderate heat. Add eggplant pieces to the pan, and arrange in a single layer. Saute until all sides are brown and crisp.
- Once all eggplant pieces are browned, incorporate them into the sauce pan, making sure to cover all pieces with the sauce. Add lemon juice and salt.
- Cook gently until eggplant is cooked through (about 15-20 minutes). Stir occasionally (and very gently) and serve.
SOUTH INDIAN EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) CURRY
This is an adopted recipe that I haven't yet tried. The original chef comments: "My good friend's Indian mother-in-law taught me how to cook this. Auntie (I call her Auntie) is from Hyderabad, is one of the best cooks I know and is very patient! There are a few steps to this recipe and you need some special ingredients, but it is really good, authentic South Indian cuisine. I'm posting some photographs with this recipe so you can see what these ingredients look like. They can all be found at an Indian grocery. Everything is listed in the order in which you will use it. Be brave; if you are patient, willing to take your time and have everything ready before hand, you will be rewarded with a delicious result. (Prep time is approximate and could be a little longer)."

Steps:
- Mix the dry spices and 1 tsp salt together in a bowl and set aside.
- Slice the aubergine into 1cm rounds, then score both sides of each round with the tip of a sharp knife. Rub with the spice mix until well coated (you should use all of the mix), then transfer to a board. Put 150ml water in the empty spice bowl with the tomato purée, chilli, ginger and sugar. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and arrange the aubergine in the pan, overlapping the rounds if needed. Fry for 5 mins on each side, or until golden. Add the liquid mix from the bowl, bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 15-20 mins, turning the aubergine occasionally until it's cooked through. If it seems dry, you may need to add up to 100ml more water to make it saucier. Season.
- Scatter over the spring onions and coriander, and serve with rice, yogurt, roti and lime wedges for squeezing over.
