  1. Mmmm, really good curry that had fantastic flavour and some sweet and sour type characteristics that went together superbly with the duck! Rather than try and dice all the duck I left a lot of it whole like legs, wings etc which I thought added to the presentation. I like a bit of heat in my curries so used a mix of three small hot fresh chillies, and one of each of a dried habanero, a chipotle and a jalapeno with all the seeds in place. Because of what was available I had to make a few changes, I used standard fresh basil instead of Thai, ginger instead of galangal and because I couldn't find any shrimp paste I dry-fried a handful of prawns (shrimp) for around 15 minutes, sliced and ground with the mortar and pestle. A really great meal served over rice, thanks Jewelies!
