Roasted Aubergine and Chickpea Curry

Trim the aubergine, then halve lengthways. Chop each half into four long strips, then chop widthways into thirds.

Pop the aubergine onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle over the half of the North Indian style spice mix, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. 

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until soft and golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium high heat.

Once hot, add half the garlic, the rogan josh curry paste and the remaining North Indian style spie mix. Fry for 1 min, then stir in the passata, veg stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount).

Stir through the chickpeas, then simmer until the sauce has thickened, 10-15 mins.

Meanwhile, pop the naans on a baking tray. 

Mix the olive oil for the garlic bread (see pantry for amount) and remaining garlic in a bowl, then drizzle over the naans.

When the aubergine has almost finished roasting, pop the garlic naans into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.

Once the aubergine is roasted, stir it through the curry along with the mango chutney, then taste and add salt and pepper if needed.

Mix the butter through the sauce (see pantry for amount) until melted.
