Was watching a cooking programme and came across this, just changed a few things to make it Dukan Friendly, thinking of making it today


Ingredients


  • 400g/14oz small Japanese-style aubergine, thinly sliced into rounds
  • good pinch ground turmeric
  • salt, to taste
  • ½ tsp red chilli powder
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 250ml/9fl oz plain fat free yogurt
  • 1-1½ tsp sugar (personally i will not use sugar as i dont like the combination of chilli and sugar or sweet and sour taste, anyone wishing can replace this with sweetner i guess)
  • 1 rounded tsp cumin seeds, toasted in a frying pan and ground in a clean coffee grinder or pestle and mortar
  • handful fresh corriander leaves, chopped, to garnish

Preparation method


  • Dust the aubergine slices with the turmeric, salt and half the red chilli powder.
  • Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan and fry the aubergine pieces until soft (you may have to do this in two batches). Set aside.
  • In a bowl, beat 200ml/7fl oz of the yoghurt with the sugar, salt and the remaining red chilli powder. Pour into a small saucepan and heat gently, stirring often to stop it from splitting, for about five minutes.
  • Stir in the ground cumin and the aubergine slices. Heat gently and stir to combine.
  • Stir in the remaining yoghurt, check the seasoning and serve garnished with the fresh coriander.
 
2 tbbsp of oil is a lot. We can only have a teaspoon a day.
