I made this last night with my twelve-year-old daughter. We sauteed an onion, then added curry powder, paprika, salt & pepper, diced potatoes, japanese eggplant, cilantro, and a can of coconut milk, with a bit of stock to thin the mixture. Simmered it about half an hour then added about a pound of shrimp and a couple tablespoons of lemon juice. Cooked that another few minutes while we made the couscous (easiest recipe ever - 1 cup couscous and 1 cup boiling water. Stir, fluff, and cover for five minutes or more), and I steamed fresh spinach.
The youngest child, who is still getting used to hotter foods, found it a bit spicy-hot but still quite enjoyable. She liked it enough to have multiple servings. There were no leftovers.
It was another great meal - easy to prepare; easy to clean up. It's a good meal for someone learning to cook because it doesn't require special skills or knowledge, its not time-consuming to prepare or cook, and substitutions are easy if you're out of specific ingredients. And it's pretty healthy.
