Quick & Easy Creamy Aubergine Curry
A delicious and very easy way to complement an Indian feast. Works as a "stand-alone" dish as well, serve with Naan bread and/or fluffy Indian rice. Leftovers make a quite tasty "C(urry)LT" sandwich filling. Courgettes/zucchini or a combination of both, aubergine and courgettes, work too.
