Thai Green Curry with Chicken & Eggplant, 'Gaeng Khiao Wan Gai'
This recipe highlights the delicious Thai mini eggplant and it's a common recipe throughout all provinces of Thailand. It's easy to prepare, and almost always made with chicken & served with jasmine rice. Translation: Gaeng = spicy soup, khiao = green, wan = sweet, gai = chicken. We like to make it with lots of chicken so it's a hearty meal.
Also note we also have a similar green chicken curry recipe here.
