Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut eggplant into 1cm chunks. • Place eggplant on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, add the water and bring to the boil. • Add basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• While the rice is cooking, finely chop onion and garlic. Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Roughly chop Asian greens.
• When the eggplant has 10 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion, carrot and brown mustard seeds, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add garlic and Bengal curry paste and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add coconut milk to the frying pan and stir to combine. Simmer until thickened slightly, 3-4 minutes. • Stir through the roasted eggplant and Asian greens until just wilted, 1 minute. Season generously to taste.
• Divide basmati rice between bowls and top with roasted eggplant Bengal curry. • Garnish with crushed peanuts. Enjoy!
