Before cooking this dish there are 2 steps that need to be prepared in advance. These steps take the same cooking time and so can be put into the oven at the same time.

Preparing the aubergine
-
3
Prick the aubergine and put into the oven at 200 degrees Celsius (400 F) and baking for around 30 minutes or until the aubergine has softened. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly and remove the skin and any tough parts. Mash and put to one side.

Preparing the potatoes
-
5
Place the potato pieces in a bowl with the oil, salt and turmeric. Coat well and place onto a baking tray and place in the oven at the same time as the aubergine for 30 minutes. Remove and put to one side.

Now prepare the sauce

In a large pan and over a medium heat fry the onions, garlic and ginger, along with the salt, in the oil and fry until the onions have softened and caramelised.

Add the tomato and spices, stir well and fry for a few minutes to cook out the spices. Now add the mashed aubergine and water. Cover and simmer on a low heat for 10 minutes.

Uncover and add the mustard, vinegar, agave and chilli. Stir well and add the potatoes and the steamed kale. Heat through, taste for seasoning and serve. If the sauce is too thin, reduce by cooking uncovered for a few minutes. If too thick, add a little water.

I like to serve this with rice and a side dish of dahl.
