This recipe is simple and easy to follow and makes a really good meal! I used chicken, but can't wait to try it with tofu and prawns. I did have to sub lime zest for the lime leaves as they are not available here. I also added about am additional 1/4 cup of coconut milk as it was not quite saucy enough for me. The very first time I ever bought and prepared an eggplant was for a Thai green curry, in an Emeril Legasse recipe. It was quite good and it started my love affair with eggplants. However, your recipe was so much easier, less fussy, and every bit as tasty! Thanks for a good recipe. I will be using it again, probably very soon as I have already gotten tofu!
