How To Make eggplant, spinach and tomato sauce
-
Step 1Heat the ghee in a large saucepan and fry the chili and the ground coriander for a few seconds. Add all of the other spices and fry a second or two longer. Then immediately add in the eggplant cubes. Stir and fry gently until the eggplant is soft and releases its seeds.

Step 2Add the chopped tomatoes, spinach and water. Combine well. Partially cover the saucepan and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until eggplant is very soft.

Step 3Turn up the heat to medium and cook an additional 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach, eggplant and tomatoes have become a thick, smooth sauce. Season with sugar, salt and garam masala - mix well.
