Ingredients

1 medium brinjal, diced
1 red onion, diced

Heat a pan and add the olive oil. Fry the peppers, brinjal and onion with the garlic, ginger and chilli until the onion is soft, sweet and translucent and the ginger is fragrant.
Add the cumin seeds and curry, and fry for a further 5 minutes.
