Do you like eggplant? I know there are many people out there who don't like eggplant. So are some of my family members who don't really like this type of vegetable. When cooked, eggplant will change texture to become very soft. In addition, the texture of the seeds in the eggplant adds a strange texture for some people who don't like it.
Meanwhile, it's a different story for me since I was little, eggplant has had many stories and sweet memories in my life. Especially about my late mother who often cooked eggplant for our family. Of course, my favorite is spicy eggplant. There is another menu that is very comforting in my life that I think I have also often shared on the Hive Blog.
But this time I serve the comforting eggplant menu with a combination of chayote. Also, I try to cook this menu healthier. Well, because I use coconut milk, here I only add coconut milk just before the dish is removed from the heat. This aims to avoid the high cholesterol content that comes from coconut milk that is cooked until boiling.
For the eggplant type, this time I used the round eggplant type. In my country, round eggplant is popular for cooking with coconut milk because it will make the texture feel soft and creamy. Unlike the long purple eggplant which is more suitable for stir-frying or grilling.
Round eggplant with a combination of green and a little purple. Suitable for creamy dishes such as with coconut milk. If you don't have a round eggplant like this, then blue eggplant can also be used in this recipe.
In this recipe, I also use turmeric, but feel free to skip this turmeric ingredient. Turmeric does not affect the taste, but it is very beneficial in terms of health for anti-inflammation if we mix turmeric in cooking.
THE INGREDIENTS
- 2 medium-sized round eggplants
- 2 small chayotes
- 100 ml of coconut milk (using ready-to-drink coconut milk)
- 3 kaffir lime leaves
- 3 bay leaves
Grinded spices
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 3 cloves of shallots
- 3 candlenuts
- 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of sugar

SERVED
A comfortable creamy eggplant dish is ready to be served with other accompaniments. This side dish is perfect to complement steamed rice, also baked potatoes, even mashed potatoes.
Look at the texture of the eggplant. It becomes soft and creamy. Plus the fresh and slightly sweet chayote. I hope you have some inspiration for a delicious and easy-to-make side dish! Have a great day, foodies!

I love eggplant! You bring back memories. The food tradition for my family (from my mother) is Italian, specifically Sicilian. Even when she was elderly and ill, my mother would ask me on my birthday what dish I wanted her to cook. It was always eggplant parmigiana. I think one day I may even post this recipe here, the only one I know that is noteworthy.
My mother used to slice the eggplant thin (oh so hard with rheumatoid arthritis). She would press the eggplant under a pile of cans so the bitter juices would drain out. Then she would fry each piece in sizzling olive oil (which is very nutritious). No breading. Just fried slices, layered in a casserole dish with mozzarella cheese, parmigiana cheese and homemade tomato sauce. Then she would put the casserole in the oven.
It was the most delicious dish in the world :)
It sound like eggplant lasagna in my imagination 😊
That was beautiful memories, dear 😊❤️
Our mom have autenthic cooking with love for sure
🦋🌹🌈
Nice to read your memories about your mother and the eggplant parmigiana!
Thank you!🌹

Bunganya cakep sekali. Kamu pinter banget plating ya, aku males hahaha. Abis masak biasanya langsung amblas :-D.
Pengen nyobain, tp disini aku belum pernah liat terong bulat, adanya yg lonjong ungu itu.
Terima kasih mba 😊
Aku juga pernah bikin versi yang lonjong ungu, cuma memang klo pakai santan lebih enak terong bulat mba
Aku juga sering amblas abis masak, klo untuk buat konten, biasanya untuk waktu makan selanjutnya, jadi gak keburu laper mba ehehe
Suamiku juga sering gak sabaran 🤣
Yes, I like eggplants, especially when made with spice. Your food always looks so yummy!
Glad you like eggplant as well 😊
Looks really delicious eggplant, I just want to try it, it's really amazing ❤️
Then you should try it
I love eggplants, especially when cooked as a ‘Tortang talong’ it’s a fried grilled eggplant mixed with egg. It’s a perfect viand for breakfast. 😁
I also tried that version and also great! But since I reduce oil, I reduce to cook fried food 😊
looks very delicious. simple food but delicious taste. soft and tasty
Absolutely, one of my fav recipe that I often cook 😊

Glad you like it!
I found your eggplant and chayote recipe to be excellent. Here in Venezuela, we don't usually cook much with coconut milk, but I like the idea of giving it a healthier touch. The truth is that eggplant, when cooked well, is a delight. And with chayote, which we call 'tacacho' in some regions, it must be wonderful. I love that you have such beautiful memories of your childhood and your mother with eggplant.

I saw some countries cook eggplant with grill method 😊
We use coconut milk because coconut milk is local source here and many coconut tree in my country

I love eggplants but for example my mother in law doesn't like them in any kind of recipe she really not appreciate the taste by the way your comfy food with eggplants to me looks super, here in Italy we have a different kind of eggplant but I think the taste it's the same or almost the same.
Yeah not everyone like eggplant 😊 and no problem
The taste is same I think 😊
Very delicious, I really like cooking eggplant like this. Thank you for sharing
You should try it for sure
Your presentation are amazing. You are such a beautiful talented blogger of all time.
Thank for your beautiful words 😊
I used to dislike eggplant because it left a very strange sensation in my mouth, then I got used to eating it and then I started eating fried eggplant. Now I eat and love many eggplant dishes, including stuffed eggplant 😅
Whoaaa, great for you. Turkey has more yummy food!
From a simple eggplant, you changed it into a delicious recipe. Look so perfect and pricey food. I like it.
Thanks mom 😊
While reading your blog, I slowly remembered the time when my mother let me sell some eggplants in order for us to have money to buy some of our needs. I am now a bit emotional. 😬 Anyway, since coconut milk is present, I am pretty sure this dish is mouthwatering.
I'm not a fan of eggplant, but the way you made this recipe made me want to at least try it, haha!
Well done, @anggreklestari.
The few times I've eaten eggplants have been in a stew with white and I've loved the dish every single time.
It's not a really common plant here so whenever the opportunity to have some of it comes, I take it.

Wow, I love your simple preparation of your eggplant recipe. In our place we usually use the purple eggplant because we don't have the circular type of eggplant here.
I miss your recipes. Although I am under some stress. Shared so great recipes with eggplant. I am late to know it. Very beautiful cooking.
Those eggplant wants to look so much like avocado, we usually use it to make sauce over here eat it with rice and its very delicious
