This easy, tasty aubergine, bean and potato curry doesn't take long to make and makes a lovely alternative to a saag aloo or aloo gobi.
This is a very lightly sauced curry, so it's really fresh and delicious and makes a nice moderate main dish. If you normally enjoy the potato/cauliflower side of aloo gobi, it's a great swap for that. Kashmiri paste is usually available in larger supermarkets alongside other curry pastes. Sometimes it's called Kashmiri Masala paste, and it's quite spicy. If you can't find it, or you prefer something milder, use a tikka masala paste instead.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp sunflower oil
- 2 large aubergines, cut into large chunks
- 1 large red onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 tsp cumin seeds

- 450g (1lb) new potatoes, halved
- 450g (1lb) tomatoes, quartered
- 250g (9oz) green beans, trimmed
- 4 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
- Natural yogurt, to serve

Top tip for making aubergine, bean and potato curry
