Thai Chicken and Eggplant (Aubergine) Curry image

Adapted from a recipe in "It Rains Fishes". Originally made with pork, tastes great either way. Try to use Thai basil, but any type of basil will do in a pinch.

This curry is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some chopped carrots and bell peppers to the curry, which gave it a nice crunch and extra flavor.

This curry is a bit too rich for my taste. I would recommend using less coconut milk or adding some chopped vegetables to lighten it up.

This curry is a great make-ahead meal. I made it on Sunday and it lasted me all week. It's also really easy to freeze, so you can always have some on hand for a quick and easy meal.

I'm allergic to eggplant, so I substituted zucchini in this recipe. It turned out great! The zucchini was a nice addition to the curry and it gave it a slightly different flavor.

This curry is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili paste if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my curry turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.
