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
Step 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.

Step 2 - ⌛ 8 min.
Step 3 - ⌛ 2 min.

Step 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.
