Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

Coconut oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely grated
Thumb-sized piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 red or green chili, deseeded (if you like) and finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 eggplant, grated or finely sliced
1/4 pound cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 1/4 cups vegetable stock
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 pound raw tiger shrimp, peeled
1 large handful baby spinach

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a large sauté pan and fry the onion, garlic, ginger and chili for 2 to 3 minutes to soften, stirring frequently. Stir in the spices and season well with a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue to fry over medium heat for a further minute or two until fragrant. Transfer the mixture to a mini food processor and blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if necessary to loosen the consistency to a paste.
  • Return the pan to the heat and put in another tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the paste and fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggplant and sauté for a minute or two, stirring to coat it with the paste, before adding the cherry tomatoes. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Add the coconut milk and the shrimp and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the sauce has just thickened. Stir in the spinach, wilt for a minute, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I made this curry without the rice. It was still very filling and satisfying. I served it with cauliflower rice, and it was the perfect meal.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this curry without the shrimp. It was still very delicious. I added some tofu instead of the shrimp, and it turned out great.

This curry is a bit spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I just added less curry paste than the recipe called for.

I'm not a big fan of shrimp, but I really enjoyed this curry. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, and it didn't have that fishy taste that I usually associate with shrimp.
