Eggplant and Coconut Curry
Eggplants have a lot of positive things to offer, such as soluble fibers that help to lower the so-called bad cholesterol in the blood, bitter substances that have a relaxing and digestive effect, bioactive colourings that protect against free radicals, as well as vitamin B1 for our nervous system and vitamin B2 for beautiful skin, hair and nails.
Roasted in the grill pan without fat, the eggplant slices burn easily. So keep a close eye on them!
