Product Information

Tip #1: You can make a big batch of the curry paste then freeze it for up to 1 year. The paste can also be used to fry rice but if you can't take spicy food, you may want to use a little less dried chilli in the curry. As it is a dry curry, I like it with a dal such as Dal Fry– similar to Tadka dal in British Indian Restaurants. The eggplant is used in Asian cuisines such as with Chinese cuisine the eggplant is stewed, stuffed, braised and steamed. In Thailand the eggplant is known as Makhua Pro and the eggplant can be found in the famous dish Thai Green Curry. The Solanaum is similar to a green pea but the peas can not be used as a substitute for the eggplant. Thai Green Curry is a very popular dish and it can be served spicy although you may ask for any street vendor or restaurant if they could not to add spicy peppers. A very tasty dish indeed. This fruit is reportedly used in Haitian voodoo rituals. [15] Cultivation [ edit ] Grafting [ edit ] Turkey berry plants can be grown from seed or stem cuttings and grow in anything from semi-shade to full sun.

For outdoor growing, place the container or growing bag in a really warm, sunny spot, such as on a south-facing patio or beside a sunny wall, and cover with fleece for a couple of weeks to help the plants settle in. Also known as Purple Rain, Fairy Tale, Shooting Stars and the Sicilian eggplant, this aubergine deserves pride of place in your potager garden and the stripes are still visible after cooking.This is my favourite pork for braising as it's tender but not too fatty. You can substitute with other cuts of pork. (Note that using pork belly will release a lot of oil in the curry so you may have to skim the oil off the surface.) The green fresh fruits are edible and used in Thai cuisine, as an ingredient in certain Thai curries or raw in certain Thai chili pastes ( nam phrik). [12] [13] They are also used in Lao cuisine (Royal Horticultural Society 2001) and Jamaican cuisine. [14] The fruits are incorporated into soups and sauces in the Côte d'Ivoire (Herzog and Gautier-Béguin 2001). Whilst cooking removes some of the acrid flavor, it is still rather an acquired taste. The fruit is also full of seeds, so it introduces an interesting texture to food. Health Benefits

Globe: Aka the American eggplant, this aubergine has that definitive shape, mild flavor and spongy texture. Due to its size (10in/25cm), it’s great for slicing and grilling as well as the classic eggplant parmesan. The plant is usually 2 or 3 m in height and 2cm in basal diameter, but may reach 5m in height and 8cm in basal diameter. The shrub usually has a single stem at ground level, but it may branch on the lower stem. The stem bark is gray and nearly smooth with raised lenticels. The inner bark has a green layer over an ivory color (Little and others 1974). The plants examined by the author, growing on firm soil, had weak taproots and well-developed laterals. The roots are white. Foliage is confined to the growing twigs. An easy way to peel garlic is to put the cloves in a jar, seal it, and shake. All the skins will drop off by themselves!To make the jungle curry paste, put all the ingredients for the paste in a small blender with 2 tablespoons of water and blitz. Alternatively, finely chop them all, then pound to a paste with the water in a pestle and mortar. It’s up to you. Meanwhile, halve one large aubergine lengthways, then slice each half again lengthways into three equal spears. Salt generously and then let sit for 30 minutes. Pat dry.

In baingan bharta, the eggplant is roasted over an open flame or in an oven until the skin is charred and the flesh becomes soft and tender. The eggplant is then mashed and cooked in a spicy Indian gravy. This dish has a smoky flavour and a slightly chunky texture. Turkey berry has been grafted with eggplant in an attempt to incorporate favorable genes for resistance to Verticillium wilt into the vegetable. [16] See also [ edit ]Italian: Similar to American types of eggplant, but with a more tender flesh and delicate sweet flavor. This variety also tends to be smaller, at 5-8in (12-20cm) long. Good for grills, lasagnes, stuffing and roasting.

Baingan bharta and brinjal bhaji are both Indian dishes made with eggplant or aubergine. However, they are prepared differently and so have unique flavours. Aqueous extracts of turkey berry are lethal to mice by depressing the number of erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets in their blood (Tapia and others 1996). Air Fry the aubergine for 10-15 minutes or until the aubergine shrinks a little. The eggplant will become tender and the outside becomes golden brown. Tip #3: Always pound the driest ingredients first, before adding the ones with more water content i.e. the onions will be the last addition.Start warming the soil with polythene or cloches two weeks before transplanting, once there is no danger of frost
