Spiced Aubergine & Potato with Coconut
Potato and aubergine are a great match. This is rich and melty and not too hot. Is good with another side dish, something a bit more fiery or zingy.

1 large aubergine, in 1" chunks
1 large onion, finely sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp cumin seeds
pinch chilli powder

150ml coconut cream
2 medium red potatoes, in 1" chunks
1" chunk fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 tbls veg oil
1 tsp turmeric
1 piece star anise *
salt & coarsley ground black pepper
large bunch fresh coriander, chopped
1 cardomon pod *
In a large pan, fry the onion, ginger, aubergine and cumin seeds in the oil for 5-10 mins, til browning. Add the potato and garlic.
After another couple minutes add the rest of the spices, salt and pepper, coconut and a litle water.
Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15-20 mins until the potatoes are tender.
Add the coriander, stir, season and serve.
* If you're having rice with it, add the inedibles to the rice instead - they're easier to find and remove...
