STEP 1
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the aubergines in a roasting tin with 2 tbsp olive oil, season with salt and black pepper. Roast for 25 mins or until dark golden and soft.
STEP 2
Next, in an ovenproof pan, heat the remaining oil and cook the onions over a medium heat for 5-6 mins until they begin softening. Stir in the garlic and spices and cook for a minute until the spices release their aroma.
STEP 3
Add the tomatoes, coconut milk, roasted aubergines, potatoes and chickpeas and bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft, removing the lid for the final 5 mins to thicken the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then stir through the roughly chopped coriander. Serve with rice for a delicious meal.
