Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C or 400F.

- Add garam masala, coriander, turmeric and the fresh tomatoes roughly chopped.
- Add water, sugar, a pinch of salt and leave simmering for 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a blender jug and blend until you have a smooth sauce.
- Bring the sauce back to the pan and add coconut milk and the roasted eggplant when ready.
- Heat some oil in a small frying pan and add mustard seeds, curry leaves and cumin seeds. Fry until the mustard seeds start to pop.
- Add the fried mustard seeds, cumin seeds and curry leaves to the curry and serve.
