Because you don't need to make it too hot to enjoy ^^, and it's easy to make too esp. when you don't have to make the paste by yourself. You can find good quality curry paste in many supermarket, and most of them are good too. The most important thing is the taste, different brand comes with different level of saltiness so taste it before adding fish sauce and sugar to suite your taste.
This time rather than serve the curry with rice, we will turn it into a fusion dish, hehe, mixing Thai and Italian together and you get lasagne that has spicy and milky taste in one bite.
*PS. You can use other kinds of egg plant, zucchini or other kinds of vegetable in the curry too, use the one to suite your taste ^^.
