Next time I'll cut the spices by half - too hot for the younger taste buds in the family. I really enjoyed it, though, and will make it again!

Thank you for an excellent dinner last night DH loved it. I didn't use all the ingredients as I couldn't find galangal, kaffir lime and lemongrass in my local but none the less it was excellent; a bit too hot to my taste and I didn't even used hot peppers, perhaps my curry powder was already quite spicy. Will be making this again.
