Cooking Steps

Chop the eggplant
1

Heat some vegetable oil over a medium heat in a large pot. Finely dice the red onion and peel and chop the ginger, peel and crush the garlic. Dice the chilli and the eggplant. Roughly chop the coriander. Add the onion, ginger, garlic, and chilli, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Add the HelloFresh garam masala and cook for one minute or until fragrant. Add the tomato and the eggplant and stir occasionally for 3-4 minutes. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Add the water and stock to the pot and bring to the boil. Add the chickpeas and the sugar and reduce heat to a simmer, leave to simmer away for 10 minutes or until the liquid has has reduced by at least half.

2

Place the rice into a sieve and rinse it with cold tap water. The water will initially become cloudy, continue to rinse until the water becomes clear enough (it doesn't need to be crystal). Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the rice and cook it for 10-12 minutes or until soft. Drain.

Spread oil on the pappadams before frying
3

Deep fry the pappadams in oil until crisp or lightly oil the pappadams and pop in the microwave for about 1 minute or until nicely puffed.

Garnish with some garam masala
4

Divide the rice bowls and the spoon over the garam masala chickpeas and garnish with some fresh coriander. Enjoy along with your pappadams.
