How Do I Store the Leftovers?

If you have any leftovers simply transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate them. They should stay fresh for 2 to 3 days.
To reheat them, you can simply use the microwave or add them to a pot with a little splash of water, and then simmer them on low heat before you serve. tasty eggplant potato curry

Tips & Tricks to Make the Eggplant Potato Curry

Ready to try out this recipe? Here are some more tips and tricks you might want to take note of.

  • To add some creaminess to the curry, you can add some whisked yogurt into the mix towards the end, and let the curry simmer for a couple of extra minutes. 
  • Remember to cut the eggplant into small, equal sized cubes to ensure that they all cook at the same time. 
  • Depending on the kind of potatoes you are using, you might want to cook potatoes first before you add in the eggplant. 
  • To enhance the flavors of the curry, don’t forget to top it with a little squeeze of lemon juice right before serving.
  • You can try this recipe with almost any kind of eggplant. Indian eggplants are much smaller, and these can take a little extra time to cook as opposed to the classic globe variety, so keep that in mind. 
  • If you like to chop and prep your veggies in advance, remember to soak the chopped eggplant in some salted water before you use it. Doing this can help keep the eggplant from turning black. 
  • To lend the curry a tangy and flavorful kick, sprinkle some chaat masala on the top. 
  • If, at any point, you feel that the curry is starting to burn and the veggies are sticking to the pan, add a little water to loosen it up.

Serving Ideas & Suggestions

This flavourful and delicious curry can be teamed up with your rotis, parathas, naan or any other flatbreads of your choice. I personally love serving it with my coin parathas or beetroot chapatis to make it a healthy meal. 

If you like your curry to be a bit thin in consistency, you can serve it with some rice instead of the flatbread.
