Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
2. Finely chop the onion, garlic and ginger. Cut the eggplant into cubes. Put the eggplants in a large bowl and add a little oil, pepper and salt and mix together.
3. Spread the aubergine cubes on a baking sheet with baking paper. Roast them in the oven for about 20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, heat a little oil in a (stew)pan. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and fry for a few minutes.
5. Add the garam masala spices and fry briefly to release the aromas and flavours.
6. Add the diced tomatoes and stir well. Pour in the coconut milk and stir again. Add the roasted aubergine cubes from the oven to the curry.
   
7. Season the curry with salt, pepper and paprika powder (use spicy to make it hot).
8. Let the dish simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes with the lid on the pan. If you want to thicken the eggplant curry a bit, remove the lid from the pan so that the moisture can escape.
   
9. In the meantime, cook the rice and prepare the naan bread if necessary.
10. Spoon some rice onto plates and spoon some aubergine curry on top. Serve with some Greek yoghurt on top, some cashews and roughly chopped coriander if desired.
11. Tip: this curry tastes even better the next day!
12. Including rice and naan bread, this curry recipe is also suitable for 4 people.
13. If you want to make this dish vegan or lactose-free, leave out the Greek yogurt or replace it with a plant-based variant.
