How to Make Aubergine Chickpea And Tamarind Stew

  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) / Gas Mark 5.
  2. Toss the aubergine chunks with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
  3. While the aubergine is roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and chilies; cook for 8-10 minutes, until softened.
  4. Stir in the cumin, turmeric, mustard seeds, and garam masala. Cook for another 2 minutes, until fragrant.
  5. Add the canned tomatoes and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in the green bell pepper, honey, and tamarind paste. Reduce heat to low.
  7. Add the roasted aubergine, chickpeas, and fresh tomatoes. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the fresh mint just before serving. Serve hot with rice or naan bread.
