Start by roasting the eggplants on an open flame or in the oven, until cooked/soft. Remove the aubergines and immerse them in a bowl of water to cool down.
Peel the skin from the roasted and smoked eggplant and chop the eggplant finely or mash it.
Heat some oil into a deep frying pan. Bring onion and cook until soft.
Add ginger, garlic and chopped green chilli and stir fry for 2 minutes, on medium heat.
Put all the powder spices and salt, stir fry for another minute.
Now add coconut milk and bring it to boil. Reduce the flame and add spinach. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, until the spinach gets soft.
Lastly, add chopped/mashed eggplant, stir and let it simmer 5 minutes more.
