Roasted Aubergine with Spiced Rice

Aubergines are a staple vegetable in my home, and I cook with them in several ways, particularly in my Indian dishes. However, this recipe waited patiently in my subconscious for quite some time before it could percolate properly, and has now been brought together with my spiced rice. Should you have leftovers – and I always ensure I do – you can quite easily turn it into a light lunch the next day, when it tastes even better.
