Aubergine, Peanut & Tamarind Curry with Anna Jones

“This curry is unreasonably delicious. It’s all cooked in a tray in the oven so it’s simple and pretty quick. Two perfectly wonky aubergines were what got me thinking about this curry, I love how the butteriness of aubergine stands up well to lots of spice. I used surplus vine tomatoes and spring onions from my box too, as well as some garlic, ginger, red onion and cucumber from my box the previous week.
