SLOW ROASTED EGGPLANT CURRY

By Director – Josh Ball ·  · 3 min read

Slow Roasted Eggplant Curry

Eggplant, Aubergine, Brinjal… Not a fan?
If you've shied away from eggplant in the past, it might simply be because you haven't had it prepared right. Let me change your mind with a fragrant and flavorful Baked Eggplant Curry recipe. Baking the eggplant not only simplifies the cooking process but also enhances its natural sweetness. Imagine pairing this aromatic curry with a bowl of cooked quinoa or a warm flaky flatbread!
Psst, eggplants are also a versatile vegetable that provides lots of fibre, making it not only nutritious, but also low in calories!
