Roasted Eggplant Tikka Masala
Make on Fresco
Well I had just made the Tikka Masala paste...and I had a lonely eggplant sitting in the fridge. Plus the yoghurt...this was made on a hungry day when I needed real food for lunch. Super quick once you have the paste in the fridge. Now think about pumpkin with this same method. Or fennel. Or potatoes. You getting my drift? YUM.
