Preparation
Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add oil. When oil is heated, add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, ginger, lemon grass, and hot peppers. Saute these ingredients for 2-3 minutes and then stir in the coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and salt. Continue sauteing 1-2 minutes and then add the quartered Thai eggplant.
Stir in 1 coconut milk. Allow dish to come to a bubble, and then reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and let cook 10-15 minutes, or until the eggplant is cooked to desired doneness; the eggplant skin adds a nice texture to the dish.
When the eggplant is cooked, turn off the heat and add chopped Thai basil and lime juice. Serve over Jasmine rice.
