Hi Anuja and Hetal, refer to your site all the time- its brilliant. Would you have more Sindhi recipes, apart from the curry?

Hi Anuradha,

Wow! We have never had an eggplant burst in the oven . Poking would be okay but a lot of the juices may come out. Maybe just a few pokes on the top?

Hi,
Love the recipe and shortcuts and have made this numerous miss.However last couple of times while roasting the eggplant in the oven it burst and splattered all around. Would poking it with a fork before roasting help?Not sure why it happened ..could be too much water in the eggplant?

Hi Shobana,

Many Indian recipes are pretty forgiving when it comes to tomatoes. For this recipe, you can use pureed tomatoes…you just won’t see the red flecks of tomato as you would if you chopped them.
