With technology making it easier to get it, you can even find it on Amazon here, and you can find it at Asian markets as well.

Indian Eggplant

Indian eggplants are small and oval, averaging 5-7 centimeters depending on maturity. This egg-shaped fruit has a glossy, smooth, and medium-thick dark purple outer skin. The inner flesh is firm, crisp, and creamy white with a few, small edible seeds. When cooked, Indian eggplants offer a mild flavor with sweet notes and a creamy texture.

Adaptable Green Curry Ingredients, We use Green Curry Chicken With Indian Eggplant but You can Substitute

Mod likes to use long beans with her green curry but you can use whatever you prefer for your green curry. She also uses Chinese or regular eggplant typically. We used Mae ploy green curry paste, which you can find, here, on amazon, or at most Asian markets. You can alternatively, make your own, homemade green curry paste using Mod's recipe below. Pick whatever protein you like. If you are vegetarian you will go with tofu, or whatever you prefer. You don't have to use anything for the protein if you prefer.

Substitution Ideas

• Protein- Don't have chicken? Tofu, Steak, and Pork can all be used. Just remember to cut it small enough that it is easy to eat and to always go for lean meats with any fat trimmed.
• Vegetarian: You would just want to make your own green curry paste so you could avoid the fish products common in curry pastes you buy at the store.
