Easy Mushroom, Potato & Aubergine Curry



Sometimes you just need a bowl of curry with rice.

And this one is super easy and packed with flavour.

A simple mushroom, potato & aubergine (eggplant) curry flavoured with curry paste and served with basmati rice.

So, so good.


aubergines (eggplants).

Don't like aubergine?


Don't worry if you don't like aubergine, it's easy to replace.

I'm holding back from saying why not but hey we are all different.

You can do a straight swap with courgette or just add some more potato or mushroom and add some frozen peas.

It's equally good and works really well.

This was a really simple curry to make. It filled the kitchen with mouth-watering aromas as it cooked.

  2. Hey Holler

    What a great idea for a blog. I will try out some of your recipes and let you know.

    Feel free to come and have a look at my blog, I only set it up about a week ago and am really getting into it.

    I am about to move into my own place once again, so I could do with some hints and tips.

    I enthusiastically made a lemon lentil dish last week, which didn't turn out so well. I think my system will take time to get used to the whole lentil thing lol.

  4. My partner hate mushrooms with a passion. He'll shortly be off to NZ for a month though so I'll be making the most of it and eating mushrooms A LOT! Will definitely try this out.

  5. Mushrooms are my favourite ingredient. Funnily enough I hated them as a child!

    "Make hay while the sunshines!" as they say and eat lots of mushrooms!

    A month is a long time, hope you don't feel too lonely!

  8. Hi, nice to see another vegetarian blog. Even though we are a good distance from each other I see our mutual taste runs to curry! We are having the rainy season in Japan now so I can empathize with you about the rain.

    I have been really interested in Indian food for the past few years and have made quite a few curries. I also see that The Foodie Blogroll has a lot of Indian food blogs, so I'm exploring them all for good recipes.(I found your blog there too.)

    When making curry I've found a hint that really adds to the flavour. You should try to make your own spice combination and cook it in the oil before you add the other ingredients. The flavour is much improved. :) (If you want to use a curry paste, then cook it in the oil at the beginning of the recipe.)

    PS You have a great Header; did you draw the Little Chef? Very charming!

  10. Hi ,Vegetable J,

    Thank you for visiting! I like your blog to. There is a picture of vegetable and tofu stir fry that is looking very similar to my pot of veg!

    Thank you for the curry tips! I am very basic when it comes to curry, but I do enjoy it!

    The left-over Queen has done a great job of the blogrill, hasn't she?

    I am glad you like my banner! I didn't draw this one! But it is great isn't it?
