3. Deep fry the sliced onions till they are nice golden brown and add the garlic and green chilli, taking care not to let it burn. Add curry leaves and lower the heat and add the mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds. Drain the fried onions and rest of the fried ingredients and to the fried eggplant and green banana mixture..

4. Drain off the oil from the pan and place the pan over the stove on a low heat. Add the chilli powder and salt and water and bring to the boil. When it has boiled for about 5 minutes add the milk and then add the fried ingredients and give it a good stir. Cook for a further 5 minutes dish out the curry and serve.
