Thai Aubergines Scented With Coconut

"The best aubergines for this are the baby sized Japanese ones but regular also works ok. Although aubergines do not need to be salted to take away their bitternes nowadays the salting in this recipe reduces the amount of oil they absorb. For non veggies the soy in this can be replaced with nam pla."
