Thai Eggplant Curry with Tofu image

I like to make my own curry paste, because it intensifies the flavor of the curry immensely. Besides curry paste, all you need are eggplant and tofu. Serve over rice.

The curry was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding a bit of coconut milk.
