Eggplant Curry

Tender eggplant in a curry sauce with tomato and herbs. Cooked with minimal oil (eggplant absorbs less when pre-salted) for a smoky, low-fat vegetarian dish. Served with a 50/50 blend of white and brown rice for a low-GI, high-fibre twist — if you prefer traditional white rice, the blend keeps the change barely noticeable. Prefer it milder? Just ask — we dial down the chilli while keeping the full aromatic flavour, so it's gentle on the palate without losing its Mauritian character.
