gently stir-fry for 5 minutes until fragrant. Add the curry, chilli,
and turmeric powders, and stir-fry for another 3 minutes.
Add the tamarind juice and water, and bring to a boil. Add the

The curry sauce, eggplants, and fish can be cooked in advance and kept
separately. Just before serving, simmer the curry sauce with the
eggplants and vegetables, and cook for 10 minutes. Then add the fish
and heat through.
