Do you struggle with adding s veggies to your meals? If so you need to make this curry. It comes packed with plenty of veggies and tastes amazing. Seriously it's one of my favourite curries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eggplant (or Aubergine) has a magical way of bulking out a dish, it needs to be cooked correctly and for long enough otherwise it can taste a bit tough, but get it right and it is lovely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's actually one of my favourite vegetables and I have a few recipes on here such as this Aubergine Lasagne<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, Moussaka<\/a><\/strong><\/span> or these amazing Moussaka Meatballs<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Chicken and Eggplant Curry of course is not suitable for vegetarians, so if you would like to try a meat free version of a curry with eggplant (aubergine) - try this Eggplant, Sweet Potato and Lentil Curry<\/a><\/strong><\/span> which is also delicious. That curry has the addition of some coconut milk which makes it super creamy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are on a lower carb day this is perfect served with either this Roasted Cauliflower Rice<\/a><\/strong> <\/span>or this Cauliflower and Zucchini Rice<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not reducing carbs? It is perfect with some basmati rice and a mint yoghurt. I make my mint yoghurt by mixing some fat free plain yoghurt with a little lemon juice, some sweetener of choice, fresh mint, and a pinch of turmeric for colour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This delicious Chicken and Eggplant Curry can also be cooked in a Instant Pot<\/a><\/strong><\/span> (a multi function Pressure Cooker and one of my most used kitchen items). This is one of the best things I have ever bought and I use it almost daily in one way or another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is basically a 7in1 cooker, and it slow cooks, pressure cooks, saute's, has settings for soup, chilli, rice, porridge and even makes yoghurt (I haven't tried that yet). Hey I even cook my boiled eggs in this, you should see how effortlessly they peel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you really want you can make this by using a spray oil. But honestly, curries need a little bit of oil to cook the spices, it really improves the flavour and a little bit of oil use isn't too high once divided into portions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
