  3. Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  4. Add the diced aubergine and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
  5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the aubergine is tender.
  7. Stir in the rinsed and drained chickpeas and chopped mint. Cook for another 5 minutes to heat through.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot with rice or naan bread.
