Sometimes I think it's nice to show a pot of something cooking away, the one above was three quaters of the way through being cooked. It looked a lot better when it went out! Miles GDave,

It's so fragrant, I love it. Miles Laura,

I'm much more taken by slow-cooked curries these days and I echo what you say about chilli-dominant spiciness. I've got one foot in the Rod camp with regards to looks, though served over rice with coriander sprinkles and a few Chang beers this will be a winner for sure. GDave Miles,

My recipe is similar, except I let the paste - which has a lot of the spices in it at that point - sit for several days after grinding. I find the resting makes it more flavorful and do this with a lot of my pastes (vindaloo, adzhika etc) it helps mellow and blend them. I also have lime jiuce, nutmeg and a lot more of most ingredients mentioned for a larger batch or multiple batches. This curry is a Thai maritime - Silk Road Masterpiece - influenced by lots of different cultures interacting over trade. Bravo! Sounds good Miles!
