Aubergines with Tomatoes & Raisins (Baingan Kahlua)

This is a really yummy veggie dish that tastes great as a main meal, but can be perfect as a side dish. The hearty base of aubergines mixed with our tangy Tikka Masala paste tastes fantastic with the sweeter notes of ginger and raisins – a great way to get those who don’t always get their 5 a day eating more veggies.
