Indian-Style Eggplant Coconut Curry
Report
Described as the "best eggplant curry recipe!!!" by a reader, this curry is ready in under an hour. Although Indian recipes often require lots of spices, this version uses a few clever ingredients to keep the ingredient list short and the flavor big.

Ingredients
- 1 eggplant
- 2 Tbsp olive oil 30 mL
- 1 shallot finely chopped, about ½ cup
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp cumin each
- 1 tsp Coriander
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 oz coconut milk 400 g
- 1 oz can diced tomatoes 400 g
- rice to serve
- cilantro to serve
Instructions
- Rice: If serving with rice, get that started now.
- Eggplant: Cut the eggplant into bite-sized cubes. Heat oil in a large pot or pan, then add cubed eggplant. Cook until eggplant begins to brown and become soft, about 5 minutes.
- Flavor: Add the shallot and garlic to the pan, continuing to cook until shallot is soft and fragrant, another 2 minutes.
- Spices: Stir in garam masala, cumin, coriander, paprika, and salt to evenly coat the eggplant.
- Cans: Add the can of coconut milk and (undrained) diced tomatoes. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and let cook for 15 minutes.
- Serve: Serve warm over rice, topped with fresh cilantro.
Notes
- Storage: This will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week or frozen for 1 month. Just let it thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying it.
- Meal Prep: This makes a great meal prep! Just store it with your rice of choice in individual containers. The moisture from the curry helps to keep the rice from drying out.
- Need more heat? Add finely diced jalapeno or similar pepper (deseeded) to the dish as you saute the garlic.
