Preparation steps

1.

Rinse and peel eggplant.

2.

Peel and finely chop garlic and shallots. Fry garlic, shallots and eggplant in hot oil. Stir in curry paste and cumin and sauté briefly. Add coconut milk and a little broth. Cover and simmer over low heat, about 20 minutes. 

3.

Meanwhile, rinse and quarter tomatoes. Remove seeds and dice. Add tomatoes to the pan and simmer about 20 minutes more. Stir occasionally, adding additional broth if necessary.

4.

In a pot, bring 1/2 liter (approximately 2 cups) water to a boil. Add rice, turmeric, pine nuts and bay leaves. Season with salt. Cover and simmer over low heat until tender, 20-25 minutes. 

5.

Stir parsley into curry and season with salt and cayenne pepper. Divide curry among warmed plates. Fill timbale molds with rice and press well. Invert rice onto plates just before serving.
