  Great flavour, not difficult, not only a good vegetarian dish.

  I really enjoyed making and eating this dish. The flavours are very subtle but really nice. Watch out how much liquid you put in because I felt mine could have been a bit thicker.

  Very tasty sauce, but I don't like aubergines. Any alternative ideas?

  I was looking for an Aubergine curry to go with a lentil dhal and this is it! Fantastic recipe. I cut the aubergines a bit smaller than suggested and didn't scoop them out (and omitted the tumeric). And of course, between the frying stage and cooking in coconut milk stage, I had to sample one or three chunks. Yum! Great the next day too.

  This a now a regular dish for us. I use mushrooms as well as aubergines and they work very well - just treat same as the aubergines.

  Really enjoyed this - was the first curry my husband has ever made without using a jar of curry sauce and I have to say he did a really good job. Will definitely make sure he adds it to his repertoire!

  this is very quick and easy (specially cos we cheat and use pataks curry paste!) usually just chop the aubergine into chunks and fry off for a bit before adding the paste and coconut milk - 5 mins work then just leave to fester for a while - excellent when you get in from work and can't really be bothered!

  I tried this last night. I added sweet potato and a couple of mushrooms. It was really tasty, my boyfriend loved it, usually he's not keen on veggie dishes.

  Oh wow - what an amazing curry! Both my boyfriend and myself loved it. I just used one large aubergine and 10 closed cup medium mushrooms cut in half. Only added the mushrooms for the final 10 min boil so they stayed really suculent. Had to thicken the sauce with arrowroot. I had plain yogurt too to temper the heat. It served 5.

  More of a soup than a curry: having followed the recipe and added some mushrooms, this dish turned out too mild, too milk and struggling to hit the taste buds. If there is a next time, will use about 1/3 less coconut milk and thicken if necessary, or use a shop-bought version - rice was perfect though!

  I added sweet potato to the recipe, which made the flavour and texture a bit more interesting. I also missed out the stock, as it was runny enough without it, and I found it a bit bland so added fish sauce and lime juice, and it was lovely.

  Really tasty and so easy. The sauce is one of the nicest Thai ones I've ever made.
