Ingredients
Instructions
-
Dust the aubergine slices with the turmeric, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon red chile powder.
-
Heat the oil in a large, nonstick frying pan and fry the aubergine pieces until soft (you may have to do this in two batches). Set the fried aubergine aside.
-
In a bowl, beat 3/4 of the yogurt with the sugar, salt, and the remaining red chile powder. Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and heat gently, stirring often to prevent the sauce from splitting or breaking, for about 5 minutes.
-
Stir in the ground cumin and the fried aubergine slices. Heat gently and stir to combine.
-
Stir in the remaining yogurt, check and adjust the seasonings, as necessary and garnish with the fresh chopped cilantro.
