Method

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the aubergine and fry for 2-3 mins, stirring well, to colour on all sides. Set aside in the pan.
Heat the remaining oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over a medium heat. Add the mustard seeds; as they begin to splutter, add the onions and fry for 5-7 mins to soften. Add the garlic & ginger paste, stir well and fry for 1 min. Add the potatoes, carrots, ground cumin and turmeric. Fry for 2 mins, then add 100ml water, season, cover and bring to the boil. Simmer for 8 mins, stirring halfway, adding a little more water if required.
Add the cooked aubergine and the milk, re-cover and continue to simmer for 5 mins. Remove from the heat, crush some of the potatoes lightly with the back of the spoon to thicken the gravy, then garnish with the coriander and mix in the chillies. Serve with chapattis and mango chutney, if you like.
