Roasted curry paste is a Thai condiment, which is the secret in this dish. With smoky eggplants, fresh basil, and a coconut milk sauce, the sweet and hot flavor of the curry paste produces an incredible taste sensation. The flaky phyllo crust adds an extra dimension to this entrée. This yields 8 turnovers, enough for 8 first course or 4 main course servings. The turnovers can be assembled a day ahead, covered with plastic wrap, and refrigerated or frozen for up to a week. If they have been frozen, place them in the preheated oven without thawing and bake for about 5 to 10 minutes longer than the time specified. -- posted by
