Pushkar Aubergine/Eggplant Curry

I had a wonderful baby aubergine curry in Pushkar, Rajasthan and it goes something like this … Make a paste with onions, garlic, cumin, garam masala, turmeric, coriander stalk and root and chilli. Fry this in some oil for a few minutes to bring out the flavours and then add fresh or tinned tomatoes, cardamon pods, mustard seeds and aubergine.
