Ingredients:

1 tbsp vegetable oil
16g
1 red onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 cups pumpkin
240g
1 eggplant
450g
1/2 cup curry paste
120g
2 cups vegetable broth
460g
2 tbsp tomato puree
30g
1 can canned tomatoes
400g
1/3 can canned chickpeas
130g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Start by finely chopping the red onion and mincing the garlic cloves.
- Peel and cube the pumpkin.
- Cube the eggplant.
2. Heat the Oil:
- In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Onions and Garlic:
- Once the oil is hot, add the chopped red onion to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
4. Add the Vegetables:
- Add the cubed pumpkin and eggplant to the pot. Stir well to combine with the onions and garlic.
5. Incorporate the Curry Paste:
- Stir in the 1/2 cup of curry paste, ensuring that the vegetables are evenly coated.
6. Add Liquid Ingredients:
- Pour in the 2 cups of vegetable broth and the 2 tablespoons of tomato puree.
- Add the can of canned tomatoes, along with their juices, to the pot. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
7. Simmer:
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pumpkin and eggplant are tender.
8. Add Chickpeas:
- Stir in the drained and rinsed 1/3 can of chickpeas.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, letting the chickpeas heat through and absorb the flavors.
9. Serve:
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (such as adding salt or pepper).
- Serve the Pumpkin and Eggplant Rogan Josh hot, ideally with a side of rice or naan bread.

Tips:

- Chop the pumpkin and eggplant into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

- Sauté the onions and garlic until they are soft and fragrant before adding the other ingredients. This helps to build a rich flavor base.

- Use a good quality curry paste to enhance the depth of the dish. Adjust the amount based on your spice tolerance.

- Canned chickpeas should be rinsed and drained before adding them to the dish to remove any excess sodium.

- Simmer the curry until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened to your liking. You can add more vegetable broth if the curry becomes too thick during cooking.

- Serve the rogan josh with a side of rice or naan to soak up the delicious sauce, and don't forget to garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
