Vegan Aubergine & Chickpea Curry

I always end up with an unused aubergine and a rogue pepper in my fridge. They usually end up in a roasting dish but as I had a can of coconut milk waiting in the press for months it was as good a time as any to experiment. This dish is really comforting and a great way to use up whatever veggies you have leftover.
