Heat a high-sided fry pan or pot over low heat. Add the paste and sauté for about three minutes until fragrant. Add the celery and gently sauté for a further 5 minutes to soften the celery. Add the eggplant and sweet potato and stir to coat the vegetables. Cook for a further 2 minutes, turning the veg occasionally. Add the FODMAPPED chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Then add the coconut milk and lime leaves. Reduce heat and simmer over a low heat for 15 minutes.
