Green Curry with Sweet Potato and Aubergine (Eggplant)

An ace curry — traditional, vegetarian, and tasty as all else! An Indian dish, when I serve this up, my mates, family, or peers are quite chuffed and I'm always asked for the recipe. Any sort of rice can be used; I suggest cooking jasmine rice ahead of time and keeping it warm until curry is done, then serving it and pouring the chili over or next to it. Garnish with shredded lime leaf and cilantro.
