2 1/2 tablespoons Thai Red Curry Paste
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Let stand at room temperature for up to 2 hours or cover and refrigerate overnight. 2. Light a grill. In a medium bowl, whisk the yogurt with the mayonnaise, honey, lime juice and mint and season with salt. (I cooked mine in the oven 350 degrees, skipped the grill, used a 9x13 glass pan) 3.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 pounds eggplant
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup peanut or canola oil
1 medium onion, very finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled and very finely chopped
8 canned plum tomatoes, finely chopped, plus 1/4 cup of the can liquid
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 cup plain yogurt
Peanut or canola oil, for deep-frying
Mint sprigs or leaves,for garnishing

Steps:

  • Trim the very ends of the eggplant and cut it crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. Put the slices in a single layer in a large platter or lasagna-type dish. Sprinkle the salt over both sides, rubbing it in well. Set aside for 1 hour. Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce. Put the oil a large, nonstick frying pan set over medium-high heat. When hot, add onion. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the onion pieces begin to brown at the edges. Put in the garlic. Stir for a few seconds. Then put in the tomatoes and their liquid as well as all the remaining ingredients for the tomato sauce. Stir to mix. Cover, turn the heat to low, and cook gently for 10 minutes. Set aside in a warm place. Yogurt sauce: Put the yogurt in a small bowl and beat lightly with a fork. Just before you eat, put oil to a depth of 2 to 3 inches for deep-frying in a wok or deep-fryer and set over medium heat. Take the eggplant slices from the platter and dry them off well with paper towels. When the oil is hot, drop in as many slices as the utensil will hold easily and fry, turning now and then, for 6 to 7 minutes, or until both sides are a medium brown color. Drain well on paper towels. To serve, arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer on a large platter. Top each slice with a dollop of the tomato sauce and then with a tablespoon of the yogurt. Garnish with the mint sprigs or leaves. Serve immediately.
