Background
This sweet potato, aubergine and chickpea curry might have many ingredients, but don’t be alarmed by this - they are mainly spices, which give the dish depth of flavours. In fact the sauce is a standard curry base, that can be used for other veggies or even meat and fish. Serve it with basmati rice and chutney on the side.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 1 Tbsp garam masala

Instructions
- Finely chop the onion, garlic and ginger.
- Heat the oil over medium heat in large heavy-based pot. Add the onion and gently sauté for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, then stir-fry for a minute. Add the ground spices and stir for 30 seconds. Add the chopped tomatoes, passata, stock, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaf and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
