Aubergine Amok
Ingredients
Instructions
- If you're feeling brave, use a pestle and mortar to pound the ingredients until you have a smooth paste, otherwise you can also use a blender. You'll need a little liquid for the blender so I recommend using the melted coconut oil to help get the process going. A vitamix or equivalent is amazing for this.
- Heat half of the oil (or what is left from blending the paste), in a large deep pan. Add your onions and cook for a few minutes, add the aubergine, cook with a pinch of salt for about 10 minutes until softened. Remove these from the pan, add the rest of the oil and the paste. Cook for about 7 minutes, stirring to ensure it doesn't catch and burn on the pan. Add the coconut milk and vegetables back to the pan, cook with the lid on for 25-30 minutes until the aubergine is tender, add your kaffir lime leaves, taste for seasoning. You may not need extra sugar or salt so add a little at a time if it's necessary. The sugar should balance the curry but not make it sweet.
- Serve with sliced fresh birds eye chilies, lime wedges, steamed rice and greens.
