Let's Cook

Step 1.
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the fenugreek seeds and fry for a few seconds until fragrant and just turning golden, being careful not to burn them. Add the crushed garlic and stir to combine with the fenugreek seeds.
-
Step 2.
Add the finely sliced shallots to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until soft and translucent.
-
Step 3.
Add the aubergine pieces to the pan and cook until the exposed flesh is a light golden color, stirring occasionally.
-
Step 4.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the ground turmeric, chilli powder, ground coriander, and salt. Stir to combine the aubergines and shallots with the spices.
-
Step 5.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, for 12–15 minutes, until the aubergines are tender. Stir through the fresh chopped coriander and serve hot.
