1. Prepare the stuffing: Cook rice in boiling water for 15-20 mins until tender. Drain; rinse well; drain again.
2. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a frying pan add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 3 mins until soft. Add the apricots to pan with orange rind and juice; cook for 3 mins. Stir in the rice and cilantro. Season to taste and mix well. Leave to cool completely.
3. Prepare the lamb: Preheat the oven to 375u0b0F. Lay lamb out flat on a work surface and spoon the rice mixture down the middle. Roll up the lamb, starting from a short end, to form a neat roll. Secure with string.
4. Mix the remaining oil with the curry paste, ginger and spices. Spread over the lamb. Place in a roasting pan and cover with foil. Roast for 1 hr, then remove the foil. Sprinkle the eggplants, onion wedges and tomatoes around the lamb; roast for another 40 mins until tender. Transfer the lamb and vegetables to a serving platter and keep warm.
5. Set the roasting pan on the stovetop. Skim off most of fat from pan. Add 1 3/4 cups water and ring to a boil. Blend cornstarch with a little water to make a smooth paste. Add to the pan and whisk until the gravy boils and thickens. Pour into a gravy boat. Carve the lamb; serve with the gravy and vegetables.
