Leftover roast pork and aubergine curry

-
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and sauté the onions gently for 20-30 minutes until soft and deep golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.
-
Add a drizzle of oil, if needed, to the same pan and stir-fry the aubergine over a medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until well coloured. Add the pepper, garlic and ginger and cook for 2 minutes more.
-
Mix in the curry powder and cook out for 1 minute or until fragrant, before adding the onion back to the pan with the pork and the curry leaves.
-
Pour in the plum tomatoes and half a can’s worth of water. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the pork is heated through.
-
Remove from the heat and stir in the mango chutney. Season to taste and top with a scattering of coriander, if desired. Delicious served with rice and/or roti.
