Green beans would be a wonderful addition here. Add them at the same time you add the tomato sauce and coconut milk.
If you don't have time to make tomato sauce and have fresh tomatoes, add fresh, chopped tomatoes to the curry paste after you've fried it for a few minutes and let reduce a bit before adding the eggplant and remainder of the coconut milk.
Use green curry paste if you don't have red
