Product details

Description

Roasted and fried aubergine in a tomato spiced sauce topped with coriander leaf

Modern Indian Discovery

Try with Grilled Tandoori Meats

Chilli rating - Medium - 2

A vibrant vegetarian dish rooted in Northern Indian tradition, our Aubergine Masala is a crowd pleaser and perfect way to elevate any meal.
We roast aubergine in small batches, then fold it into a lightly spiced masala made with cumin, coriander and chilli. We add cherry tomatoes for a sweet tang and fried aubergine pieces for depth and richness.
Lastly, we top the dish with fresh coriander to create that restaurant experience at home.

We believe great taste begins with a story - of provenance, passion and craft. Our thoughtfully curated selection of products celebrate the roots of exquisite flavour, taking you on a journey of discovery.

Ratings summary

1 out of 5

High risk additivesThis aubergine curry tastes great, really, really nice, and was my new favourite.
So nice, that I decided to read what the ingredients were....
'Sodium Hydrogen Sulphite'
This doesn't strike me as a classic Indian ingredient.
Scanning with my Yuka app, it rates poor, 49/100.
Reason why? 'High risk additives'
Why are Sainsburys putting rubbish like this in food?
My prawn curry doesn't contain this, rates excellent and tastes great, so it can be done.
