Add the curry paste (take less if you are not used to spicy food!) and stir for 1 minute over medium heat. Take care not to burn it, stir constantly. Add 500 ml of the coconut milk and kaffir lime leaves; simmer for 10 minutes.

Add meat and the remaining coconut milk and simmer for further 10 minutes or until the meat is tender.

Add eggplants and red chilies, fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Cook for further 5 minutes until the eggplants are tender.

Add Thai basil leaves, toss, and serve with rice.

As part of a Thai dinner this amount should be good for 8 people.
