Method

Cook the rice in a large pan of boiling salted water to pack instructions. Chop the aubergine into 3cm chunks, place in a colander on top of the rice, cover and steam for the first 8 mins, or until starting to soften.
Meanwhile, toast the peanuts in a large non-stick frying pan until golden, tossing reguarly, then crush using a pestle and mortar (or finely chop). Trim the spring onions and chop into 2cm pieces. Place in the frying pan with 1 tbsp olive oil and cook for 5 mins on a medium heat or until lightly charred, then remove to a plate.
Use tongs to move the steamed aubergine into the frying pan to char for 5 mins, turning often and removing to a plate when done - you may need to work in batches.
Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks, add to the frying pan with the curry paste and stir for 2 mins. Pour in the coconut milk and stir well, then cover and cook for 8 mins, or until the potatoes are cooked and the sauce has thickened.
Halve the sugarsnaps lengthways and add to the pan along with the charred aubergines, then cover and cook for a final 2 mins. Drain and divide the rice between bowls and spoon over the curry, top with the charred spring onions, crushed nuts and a squeeze of lime, if you like.
