There are 3 recipes here that use Eggplant, and every one of them is scored against what is actually in your fridge before it is shown. The quickest is Eggplant in Chili Paste at 25 minutes; the longest, Vegetables in Coconut Milk, takes 35.
None of these need an oven, an air fryer, or a microwave — a stove and a pan is enough. 3 are vegetarian. 2 are properly spicy.
Eggplant turns up most often alongside Red chili, Palm sugar, Tomato and Chayote — if you have one or two of those as well, more of this list becomes cookable tonight rather than after a shopping trip. Add what you have to your fridge and the recipes reorder themselves around it, with anything missing collected into a shopping list.
Vegetables in Coconut Milk
Gentle coconut richness. Never cover the pot after the coconut milk goes in — it will split.

Eggplant in Chili Paste
The eggplant is flash-fried in hot oil so it does not soak up oil like a sponge.

Smashed Eggplant with Green Sambal
The eggplant is charred in a dry pan until the skin wrinkles, not fried. Deeper flavour, far less oil.
