My whole family loved this. I used a little more green curry paste and I did the same thing as the other reviewer - I used a red pepper and about 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes. I didn't use the Japanese eggplants. I think next time I will add some zucchini though. It is a really tasty green curry dish and tastes just like one of our favourite dishes at our favourite thai food restaurant.

My husband loved this. I substitued the red chillies with red peppers and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Yum!
