Aubergine and Coconut Curry....

I was meant to make this for Kat but never did as my head was too fuzzy. So as I had the ingredients I gave it a go. It is a good curry- I love aubergine so it's good for me. It is not very spicy but that probably depends on the amount of chilli you use.
The ingredients are:
1 onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
A walnut sized piece of ginger
1 red chilli (the recipe says two green)
Coriander powder (the recipe says half a bunch of fresh coriander)
Groundnut oil
2 Aubergines (The recipe says one!)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp groun coriander!
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 x 165ml coconut milk

Whizz the first four ingredients in a mixer, then add the coriander (fresh or spices). Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the aubergine until golden and softening. Take it out of the pan.

Add the puree to the pan and cook for five minutes. Add the dried spices and cook for two minutes. ANd then add the lime and coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Return the aubergine and cook for 10 minutes. Then serve with rice. Yum!
