My Mum can’t get enough of aubergines and I was so happy to see her inventive side come about again when I recently stumbled upon this particular curry in the fridge at our family home. Juicy aubergine full of flavour and the earthiness of the black eyed beans really does make this a fantastic combination.
I told my Mum, that I wanted to learn this curry immediately, so we set off and made it together! The result was delicious! Thanks Mum, I’m always learning from you!
Have a gorgeous day friends, much love, D x

That sounds delicious Dimple! Must have been lovely to cook with your mum too xx
What coincidence Dimple! I soaked these beans an hour ago to be made in the morning when I chanced upon your blog. As my hubby doesn’t like aubergine, it will be only beans in tomato-onion-garlic-ginger paste with the usual spices.
Moms are always the best cook right:-) now I have learnt this from you. Thanks to your mom.. Looks yummy D:-)

I LOVE aubergines in curry!
Me tooooo! For someone who couldn’t stand them when young…I’ve done a complete turn around! π
Dimple, if I left out the asafoetida and used powdered ginger instead, would it be OK, please ?
You can leave out the asafoetida..No need to replace with anything π
And the ginger puree ?
Add a bit of fresh grated ginger
Coowul. I can do that.
Thanks so much, Dimple ! π
