    Superb curry, turned out very well.
    I recommend others to add less curry powder. Because the one I made is little spicy.
    Rocy mentioned that in the Notes section, I didn’t notice that.
    This is the delicious eggplant curry I made so far.
    Thank you Rocy.

    Just amazing, I love the combination of the spice, the tang of the tomatoes and the sweetness of the aubergine. Done it twice, a firm favourite.
