Toss the aubergines in a roasting tin with2 tbsp olive oil. Season well and spread out in the tin and roast for 20 mins or until dark golden and soft.
Heat the remaining oil in an ovenproof pan or flameproof casserole dish and cook the onions over a medium heat for 5-6 mins until softened.
Stir in the garlic and spices until the spices release their aromas.
Tip in the tomatoes, coconut milk and roasted aubergines, and bring to a gentle simmer.
Simmer for 20-25 mins, removing the lid for the final 5 mins to thicken the sauce.
Add a little seasoning if you like and stir through most of the coriander.
Serve with rice or nan bread, scattering with the remaining coriander.
