Ingredients:

Serving

1 large aubergine ( eggplant , about 1 1/2lb)
2 zucchini (total weight 1 1/2 lb)
4 tbsp ghee (or vegetable oil)
1 large onion, peeled, quartered and sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 -2 fresh green chile, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
2 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp garam masala (or goda masala, posted separately)
1 (14 oz) can chopped tomatoes
1/2-1 cup vegetable stock
salt and pepper , to taste
1 (14 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
2/3 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp vegetable oil, extra
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp urad dal (optional)
10 -12 fresh curry leaves

Directions:

Cut the unpeeled eggplant into 3/4 -1 cubes.
Trim the ends off the unpeeled zucchini and slice.
Heat the ghee or oil in a large saucepan or heavy skillet and saute the eggplant, zucchini, onion, garlic and chillies for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables have softened. If necessary add more ghee or oil, or add, as I do, a splash of water from time to time to help the process along.
Stir in the spices and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the undrained tomatoes, 3/4 cup of stock, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook gently for 10 minutes, adding another 1/4 cup of stock if the mixture is becoming dry.
Add the chickpeas to the pan and cook a further 5 minutes.
Stir in the mint and cream and gently reheat.
Meanwhile heat 2 tablespoons oil in a small skillet. When hot, add the mustard seeds, the urad dhal and curry leaves. Quickly stir-fry for 10 to 20 seconds. Tip contents over the curry, gently mix through.
Serve with plain or pilau rice, or parathas if preferred.
