Recipe's preparation
Prick the eggplant with a fork and bake it in a 180° C oven until soft, about one hour.
Remove the eggplant from oven, allow it to cool, and chop it up into large chunks – it should be very mushy. Set it aside in your Thermoserver.
Put the onion and garlic into the TM and chop on speed 7 for 3 seconds. Use spatula to push to the bottom and add oil and cook for 3 minutes at 100 degrees on speed 1.
Add tomatoes and chop on speed 4 for 4 seconds. Use spatula to push to the bottom of the bowl and then add all of the spices except for the salt. Cook for 5 minutes at 100 degrees speed 1 with the simmering basket sitting on top of the lid instead of the MC to prevent splashes.
Add eggplant and peas and cook for 2 minutes at 100 degrees on REVERSE speed 1 until combined and heated through. (May take longer if the eggplant was not kept warm in the Thermoserver.)
OPTIONAL: raise the speed to speed 3-4 to mash the whole mess together if you’d rather have a smoother mix. If you prefer it chunky, omit this step.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with rice.

Sensational! I really loved this recipe, as did my husband and 13 year old (the 11 year old not so much but mainly as he's not an eggplant fan). Like others I added chickpeas. It's going in the favourites.

Just made this, i added 200gms chicken thigh with the tomatoes and used 3/4 tsp chilli. I think this is by far and away the best curry i have ever made. I was going to put a serving aside for my mum but not sure if i can give up the leftovers!!
Served with mango chutney and plain yogurt

I diced the eggplant & added 200g quartered mushrooms before baking for about an hour.
Used a tin of tomatoes, fresh ginger, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp coriander, 1 tsp garam marsala as well as the other spices.
Added a couple of handfuls of baby spinach at the end.

This is the best curry recipe
This is the best curry recipe I've tried in the Thermomix so far! Nice and easy too. I salted the eggplants prior to cooking, I find it gets rid of any residual bitterness. Also you definitely need an hour in the oven.
Delicious and simple! I used

Perfectly Indian. I made it
Perfectly Indian. I made it as written and with home made curry paste. Western, non veg palate might need some adjustment. Served with chapati, rice and Indan salad. Loved it! Thank you
A really lovely dish, I added
A really lovely dish, I added a tablespoon of tomato paste at the end to increase the richness and served it with coriander and quinoa chippattis and it was a winner. Next time I'll add some lentils to increase the protein levels. Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you liked it!

Delicious! I added cooked lentils at the eggplant stage as my husband loves them. Wow it was delicious. We both went back for more. Thank you for sharing.
