Very hearty and flavorful
This gets better each day! It does make a lot with all the vegetables so have another can of coconut milk and spices should you need it. I ended up doubling the spices and coconut milk.

Farmers Market Fresh!
I just made this, and ATE this! I came home from the farmers market with a butternut squash, eggplant, zucchini and cauliflower. I searched "eggplant and butternut squash recipes" and came upon this one. had a can of coconut milk! I had everything! Even fresh ginger! I used eggplant, butternut squash, cauliflower, carrot, red potato and garbanzo beans. I served it over white rice but brown would be good too. This was a great recipe, easy, nutritious and delicious! Thank you!

scrumptious
I loved this dish. A lot of different vegetables you have to purchase but I doubled the recipe and put the leftover in the freezer. it is still delicious a few wks after. I pan fried some cut up cod and threw it in the curry before serving to get some more protein in there. It is such a great tasting dish for anyone who enjoys curry. Love it!

Very good!
This was a savory, delicious curry that my whole family enjoyed--even the 10 year old boy who HATES squash. He declared he'd eat this any time if I would agree to make it without that one ingredient. Deal!
What I would have liked is a better idea of how much eggplant, cauliflower, etc. to use. The recipe calls for a whole eggplant and a half head of cauliflower. What size? There is a huge difference in size between a large cauliflower or eggplant or a small one. I would have liked to see some sort of equivalent measurement--i.e., about 3 cups worth.
Be sure your rice isn't too wet when you serve this. Any additional moisture dilutes the curry sauce and makes it taste watery. But when I ate the curry by itself, it was perfection. I served mine with mango chutney and rice, and when I make it next time, I'll add chopped peanuts, shredded coconut, and scallions as additional condiments.

So beautiful but not tasty
Very disappointed. The photos for this meal are beautiful and I love Thai food so thought I would love this. How disappointing. The flavor was not good.

What a Tasty Meal!
I made this meal recently and it was scrumptious! There's some heat to the dish, but not too much. We served it over basmati rice. I also added corn from two ears of fresh corn, and that added a nice texture. Will definitely cook again.

Easy Crowd Pleaser, Great for Dinner Party
My friend made this recipe for me recently and I loved it. I then decided to make it for a dinner party of 8 last night. This was a great decision. The directions are spot on and the recipe is forgiving if you have a little less of something (I had less than 8 oz beans). I used a Madras curry powder. Once the initial prepping of the vegetables is done, you really just wait for everything to cook. We timed our rice cooker to have the rice ready at the same time and were just able to enjoy the company of our guests without fussing in the kitchen. Easy one pot cleanup was nice, too. My friend brought a Raita that we served alongside the curry and it complimented it quite nicely. Everyone enjoyed.

Vegetarian Curry with Butternut Squash, Eggplant .
Wow, because the comments were so glowing I tried this recipe, and I have to tell you, it took three times as long to make than indicated, and it was so bad my husband refused to eat it after the first bite. What went wrong??? I have tried it myself only to say that it does not have a good favor, and thought the eggplant didn't fair well in this dish. All the veggies I used were fresh! I was telling a friend about it, and that I would have to throw it all out, and she said, my husband likes many of the things you put in it, so please let us try it, and guess what they too threw it out. I'm very sad to throw all these great veggies away, but the taste was not good. M
