While the aubergines are cooking, heat a good splash of oil in a pan and cook the onions until soft, for about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for another minute.

Add the spices and cook for a minute (add a splash of water if you are worried about burning the spices).

Add the coconut milk and chopped tomatoes, give it a stir and let it come to a gentle simmer.

Remove the aubergines from the oven, and add to the pan. Give it all a good stir and allow it to come back to a gentle simmer. Put the lid on and let it continue to simmer for 20-25 minutes. Thicken the sauce for a further 5 minutes at the end with the lid off. Check the seasoning and adjust to your taste.
