This is a very easy and healthy addition to any meal. Makes a great side dish or as a dip. Also known as Baklazhanovaya Ikra in Russian. You will need a larger non-stick skillet (at least 12 inches wide and 3 inches tall). Also two hand-fulls of cherry tomatoes can be substituted for the two medium tomatoes.

Steps:
- Wash aubergine and dry it. Stick it firmly on a skewer or fork and roast over a gas flame. Leave it over the flame until a side of it chars black, turning it to ensure all of the aubergine chars black. You will know it is cooked as it will leak fluid and become soft. Insert a knife into it to check if it slides in easily, if it does not, cook it more on that side. When it is cooked, carefully transfer to a bowl. Let it cool.
- You could roast the whole aubergine in the oven, but it will totally lack the lovely smoky flavour. Alternatively, you could roast in on a barbecue.
- When the aubergine is cool enough to handle, carefully peel off the charred skin. It should come away easily, but if tiny bits of the skin remain, don't worry, it adds to the flavour! Chop up the flesh and mash it slightly with a potato masher. Keep some texture.
- Heat oil in a frying pan and add onions. Cook on a low heat, stirring often until the onions turn golden and caramalise.
- Add the garlic and ginger and chillies and cook for 3 minutes on a medium heat.
- Add the curry powder (if using), butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Finally add the chopped coriander, spring onions and lemon juice. Swirl with yogurt and serve with pitta bread crisped in the oven.
