Method
Cut the pineapple and aubergine into bite-sized pieces and tear the makrut lime leaves, discarding the central stem.
Spoon the coconut cream into a wok and heat gently until it begins to separate and glisten.
Add the curry paste and fry, stirring constantly, for 4 minutes until deeply fragrant and the oil has split from the paste.
Stir in the tofu and aubergine and cook for 6 minutes until the tofu is lightly golden and the aubergine is starting to soften.
Pour in the coconut milk, add the pineapple and torn makrut lime leaves, and bring to a gentle simmer.
Simmer for 8 minutes until the pineapple and aubergine are tender and the curry has thickened slightly.
Season with the light soy sauce and palm sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Scatter with the Thai basil and sliced red chilli, and serve hot.
