Instructions
- In a saucepan, cover rice with 1 1/2 cups of water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 25 minutes, until tender and water is absorbed.
- Meanwhile, spray a large non-stick pan with oil and set over a medium-high heat. Add spring onions, ginger, garlic and curry leaves, if using. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Remove curry leaves.
- Add eggplant and carrot, stirring to combine. Cook for 5 minutes. Add tandoori paste and tomatoes and stir. Add taro and 1 cup of water and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, adding more water if needed, until taro is cooked through and soft. Stir through chilli and kaffir lime leaves, reserving a bit of each to garnish. Remove curry from heat and stir through yoghurt.
- Serve curry with rice, garnished with extra yoghurt and remaining kaffir lime leaves and chilli.
Variations
Make it vegan: Use a vegan yoghurt and check tandoori paste is vegan.
HFG tip
If using taro, wear gloves and cook thoroughly, to avoid hand, skin, mouth and throat itching caused by a substance in raw taro called calcium oxalate (see our feature In season January for more information).
