Broccoli isn’t a vegetable I think to use in a curry very often, but it works really well in this dish. I love how creamy this eggplant broccoli curry is, and the fact that it really takes no time at all to make. Plus, it’s pretty healthy too! Serve it with some brown rice to keep it healthy, or go all out with rice and naan for a more decadent affair!

It reheats nicely, but I haven’t tried freezing it as I’m not sure the texture of the eggplant would be all that good once defrosted. I’d love to know if you do try it though – the more things I can stock my freezer with at the moment the better!
