Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups coconut mill
  • 1/2 cup Thai red curry paste
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 10 fresh curry leaves roughly torn
  • 3/4 eggplant large, roughly chopped
  • 400 grams fresh tofu
  • 150 grams pineapple cut into 2cm pieces
  • 10 tomatoes cherry, tomatoes, chopped in half
  • 1/2 cup red seedless grapes sliced in half
  • 1/2 cup thai basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce vegetarian mushroom
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon caster sugar
  • jasmine rice Steamed, to serve

Method

  • Heat up 2 tbs of vegetable oil in a nonstick frypan on medium heat
  • While it is heating, cut the tofu into medium sized cubes
  • Place the cubes into the heated frypan and let cook on each side for around 3-4 minutes till lightly browned with some dark brown patches
  • Put aside, and set a large wok/frypan on medium-high heat.
  • Heat 1/4 cup of the coconut milk in it for 3-5 minutes or till the oil separates from the milk. Add the curry paste, and stir through till fragrant and roasted.
  • Add the remaining coconut milk and cream, bringing the mixture to boil. Add in the curry leaves and eggplant.
  • Cook this mixture for 3-5 minutes (I kept the moisture in by covering the top of the wok) or till the eggplant has softened.
  • Add the remaining ingredients (tofu, thai basil leaves, pineapple tomato, grapes, caster sugar, sauces, salt) and cook for 3-5 minutes longer.
  • Serve with steamed rice and try not to eat the entire curry in one serving!
