    | 1. In a blender, whizz the garlic, ginger and chillies with just enough water to form a thin paste. | 2. Cut the aubergines lengthwise into four thick slices, then cut across into 1 ½ inch thick chunks; heat the sunflower oil in a wide lidded pan and fry the aubergines in batches until completely tender and reddish-brown on both sides; when each batch is finished, lift from the pan using a slotted spoon and place in a sieve over a bowl; leave for 30 minutes to drain off the surplus oil. | 3. In the same pan, use 2 tablespoons of the drained oil and heat through; add the cumin, fennel and coriander seeds and fry for a few seconds; add the tomato, tomato puree, garlic/ginger/chilli paste, turmeric and salt; cook gently, stirring well, for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens. | 4. Add the drained aubergines to the tomato sauce, cover the pan and cook gently for about 15 minutes. | 5. Serve at once, or leave overnight in the fridge for the flavours to develop; sprinkle with cilantro leaves before serving. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
