Easy Aubergine and Cauliflower Curry

Ready made curry pastes and curry powder mixtures can be very handy on busy or lazy days. This  vegan easy aubergine and cauliflower curry is made with them, so it requires very little preparation. I made it using organic Bhuna  curry paste and mild curry powder  -  if you like your curry really spicy, use hot curry powder and/or paste or add chilli powder to the mixture. Serve it with boiled rice or naan bread and raita and chutney on the side.
