Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- 1x baking tray lined with foil
- 1x non-stick frying pan
Get grilling
- Heat your grill to high.
- Dice the aubergines into 2cm chunks.
- Put the aubergines and tomatoes on a baking tray lined with foil, spritz with cooking spray and grill for 6-8 mins, until soft and charred.
Ace the base!
- Meanwhile, peel the onions and cut each into 8 wedges. Discard the woody stalks from the middle of the cavolo nero, then thinly slice the leaves.
- Spritz a non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Fry the cumin for 1 min, then add the onions and cavolo nero and cook for 5-7 mins.
Simmer the curry
- Squeeze in the tomato purée and cook for 1 min.
- Add the chickpeas and their water with the curry sauce. Pour in 100ml water, stir well and simmer for 4-5 mins, until the sauce has reduced slightly.
Plate up
- Finely chop half the coriander and stir it into the frying pan with the grilled veg.
- Dish up the curry, drizzle over the yogurt and scatter over the remaining coriander.
