Aubergine, okra and tomato curry recipe
For a quick and easy vegetarian dinner, try this African-inspired curry made with aubergines and okra. Okra is a seed-packed vegetable that benefits from being paired with strong, spicy flavours and so the garlic, ginger, cumin and chilli in this recipe work perfectly. This easy dinner idea takes just 30 minutes to make, but in that short time you can really impart deep, rich flavours.
