Ingredients

2 tbsp Vegetable oil
1 large aubergine, diced into small pieces
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 thumb-sized piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground turmeric
150ml vegetable stock
250ml coconut milk
2 x 150g packs extra-large raw prawns
2 limes
100g baby spinach
1 Naan bread, to serve

Method

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large sauté pan and add the diced aubergine. Season and fry for 5 minutes, stirring continuously, until just softened and beginning to turn golden. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add the remaining oil and the onion, season and fry over a medium heat for 3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and chilli and fry for 2 minutes. Stir in the spices and fry for a further 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the stock and coconut milk, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the aubergine and prawns and cook for 2 minutes, or until the prawns are completely cooked through. Stir in the juice of ½ lime and the spinach, stirring to wilt.
Serve immediately with warm naan bread to mop up the juices and wedges of lime to squeeze over.
