Another very easy way to get your eggplants deliciously spicy is to prepare a Thai Green Curry. You could do that from scratch or simply get one of those Thai Kitchen Green Curry jars that you can buy in most grocery stores. I made a green curry like that a few months ago with green eggshaped Thai eggplants. I used a whole jar of the green curry and much less coconut milk in proportion to increase the heatlevel. There was more than one person feeling the heat at that table.... The eggshaped Thai eggplants were perfect for that dish, but I am sure, other eggplants will do too. Enjoy your Thai hot eggplants, Eruna Schultheiss
