LIGHT EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) AND TOMATO CURRY
Nigel Slater pitches this recipe as a "light vegetable curry for a summer's day". The resulting dish will not have a thick sauce but rather a highly flavoured juicy sauce. Serve over rice or as a side dish to meat. For this recipe you ideally want the small, light purple eggplants found in Turkish stores.
