Eggplant is prized in Asian cuisine for its mild, versatile flavors (depending on what it is cooked with) and in this dish stands up to the fiery hotness of the bird’s eye chilies in a coconut-milk-laced Thai green sauce.

Serve this rich green chicken curry with cooked rice, barley or any other grain of your choice along with lime wedges.
