Serve these spicy veggies as a side to a Thai entrée, or over jasmine rice for a healthy, low fat, vegetarian one-dish meal. Coconut milk, fresh ginger, and Thai curry paste (which is a blend of chiles, garlic, onion, lemongrass, ginger, cumin, coriander, fish sauce, and spices) are staples in Thai cuisine. The light coconut milk adds sweetness and creaminess (with little fat), and the ginger and curry paste add savory spice and fire. Look for coconut milk and red curry paste in the ethnic section of your supermarket. This is easy to be both a crowd pleaser, since it's vegetarian, and a chef pleaser, because it's made in one pot for easy clean up.
