Thai Panang Curry with Baby Eggplants and Tofu

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry tofu until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

Add sesame oil and onion to the same skillet and cook onion until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add curry paste and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Add chiles; cook and stir for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add coconut milk and bring to a boil, mixing well.

Add eggplants and bell pepper to the skillet with the coconut milk. Cook until eggplant is almost tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add tofu and tomatoes; cook until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes more.
