Eggplant and Chicken are a few of my favourite ingredients, so I have combined them together and put this on a bed of corn couscous as a change from rice.
I have bought cooked chicken as I was in a hurry, however you could boil a few chicken pieces if you cannot buy skinless, shredded chicken meat.
The gravy is quite thick and the addition of the yoghurt gives it an added richness and smoothness.
It is a very quick recipe and can be made up from beginning to being on the table in just 25 - 30 minutes.
I served it with
sweet baby corn
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Makes: 4 servings
Ingredients
2 tsp curry powder
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 onion, chopped
2 tbsp water
1 eggplant, diced
1 420 g can tomato puree
1 - 2 cups cooked skinless chicken
2 tbsp parsley, chopped
¾ cup Natural or low fat yoghurt
1 tbsp cornflour
2 - 3 cups cooked couscous
Method
Heat the curry powder in a frying pan or wok, and add the garlic, onion, water and cook for about 3 minutes.
Add the eggplant and cook for about 3 minutes or until slightly softened. Next add the tomato puree and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile boil some water and pour over the couscous completely covering it, and leave to stand. Check it regularly in case you need more water.
Add the chicken, and parsley.
Add the yoghurt mixed with the cornflour, and stir until heated through.
Serve on top of the couscous with the baby corn or your choice of vegetables or salad.
