Instructions
- 1. Prepare the eggplants for grilling by pricking them all over with a fork. This is so it won’t burst during the grilling process as the natural water in it heats up.
- 2Grill the eggplants, turning them over frequently to ensure even cooking. Grill until the skins are dark brown, even black and the eggplant is soft when you touch it.
- 3Soak the grilled eggplant in a bowl of water to cool it down. Peel the skin off the eggplant. Place the whole eggplants in a shallow dish (my mom actually cuts the eggplant into small, bite-sized pieces).

Chef tips
To ensure the eggplant absorbs the coconut flavors perfectly, prick it lightly with a fork before roasting. Make sure the flesh is very soft before mixing it with the rich cream. For an extra crunch, top with toasted sesame seeds or crushed peanuts. Serve with simple white rice to soak up every drop of that delicious coconut sauce.
