Basil Eggplant (Aubergine) - Pud Makua Yow
I ordered this at my favorite Thai restaurant and then went in search of the recipe that tasted most like it. Here you go. I serve this on basmati rice. You can use either regular eggplant or the long thin Asian eggplants. I think the restaurant used little green ones that I have seen at the Asian market.
