Madras rice
Slices of sautéed aubergine and the lovely yellow colour from the curry spices bring a hint of India to this rice dish, given a twist with a little fried ham.

Step by step recipe
Stage 1
5 min.
Rinse 300 g egg-plant or aubergine and cut into fairly thick slices.As you can see in the photo, I am using the delicious, long, purple aubergines that are sometimes available. I find them more interesting than the usual dark variety.
Stage 2
8 min.
Stage 3
2 min.
Use the same pan to fry the ham on both sides.Set aside.
Stage 4
5 min.
Still using the same pan, without washing it (to make the most of the cooking juices left), pour in 250 g liquid cream.Bring to the boil while deglazing the bottom of the pan thoroughly, then add 1 tablespoon curry powder and mix well.
Stage 5
1 min.
Add 400 g cooked rice and mix well...Stage 6
5 min.
...then leave to reduce a little until the rice has absorbed most of the cream.Stage 7
2 min.
Finish by adding the ham and aubergines.Stage 8
Serve without delay.Remarks
If you find the curry flavour a bit too strong for your liking, you can use turmeric on its own instead.
