    That's a handy looking bit of kit you have there, Susie. Care to identify the spices? :)

    Yes, no problem!

    Clockwise from top we have turmeric, garam masala, green cardamom pods, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, chilli powder and then ground coriander in the middle. The stainless steel spice holder is very typical here in India - I totally fell in love with them and had to buy one. It has an airtight lid so keeps everything fresh and smelling great.

    The bottom left is my electric spice grinder which again is a local piece of kit and seriously brilliant - in 30 seconds flat it will have a very fine powder out of even hard spices like star anise or cloves. Makes life much easier when you like to make pastes or spice mixes from scratch.

    Just bought ingrediants for this (came to nearly €30!) and the spices alone were almost €20. I suppose I won't have to buy them again if I'm making similar food in the future. Still need to get a pestle and mortar - any ideas where to pick one up cheapish in Dublin?

    I got mine in asia market on drury street it was around 20e for a large stone one, i wouldnt buy any other tbh, as the are great. even though its a large one i often cant fit all the ingredients i want into it and wish it was bigger!

    you could also use a small coffee grinder or borrow one for the moment :)

    it is a worth while investment as home cooked Asian food can be a lot better than what u get in take aways / restaurants when u get good at it :pac:

    I wouldn't advise it, the coffee will be badly tainted afterwards.

    Turned out really well - delicious. One slight problem: there was something in it that was a bit hard to chew, possibly lemongrass. Will chop smaller next time.

    Only thing is: I followed the spice mix recipe and it only looks like enough for about 3, maybe 4 dishes (and not the 10 mentioned in OP).

    looks good :pac: i guess i was being a bit ambitious with 10 in the original post. its most likely the lemongrass that was a bit tough, glad you enjoyed!

    Will definitely make again. Have to find some other recipes to use all these spices for now! ...I'm turning into a curry addict! Possibly some Indian ones.

    Wow, this was nice. I'd put it on my tooth brush if it were accepted in society.
    It's amazing how the final ingredients set it off; I was tasting it as I went along and wasn't too impressed but when I added the fish sauce and sugar it all came together.
    Is it me or is there something in it that reminds you of chipper curry?

    Made this for dinner tonight, but since I was cooking a big pot for the family I cooked it long and slow. And I used lamb. And I added potatoes. I blended the onion, lemongrass, garlic and ginger (yes I added this too) to a paste so there's no funny grainy texture from the lemongrass.
    The spices are divine, Curry Addict. Perfect balance. Seriously, was this delicious or was this delicious? I really enjoyed this very much, so did the family. A definite regular in our menu.

    Just so you know, in Malaysia this is actually a kurma curry, rather than just a curry which is normally much much milder and soupy.

    very nice adaptation Mrs fox it looks really delicious :pac: the freshly roasted spices really do bring this curry alive.

    im a big fan of slow cooking myself. it wouldn't be unusual to find a big pot on the cooker here at 10am in the morning.

    i would recommend trying this one if you havent already noticed it buried in the cooking club recipe vaults :D

    I have noticed the burmese curry before. I will most definitely try the kua curry paste.
    i'm out of kaffir lime leaves at the moment so i'll wait til my next asian grocery trip.
    keep coming with more curry recipes, please CA.

    tbh id recommend making green curry paste to use here instead of the kua curry paste as its more usefull in other dishes. the kua curry paste is simpler, as the region its from is more remote so less ingredients are used etc. the difference will not be noticeable.

    Curry Addict, just tried this today & have to say it was superb.. Really lovely complex spices & a nice but not too hot kick from the chillis. So easy to make too once the spice mix is made. I was worried it might be too sweet with oyster sauce & sugar so put in a bit less and it was just right for me. Also didn't have lemongrass so put in lime leaves instead. Will try with lemongrass next time.

    Thanks for posting, it's not often a new recipie goes straight into the bank but this is defo gonna be a regular one for me! Now to look out for some more of your curries!

    I made this over the weekend with 4 chicken breasts and it tasted amazing. Superb flavours. I had it with rice on Saturday then used noodles flavoured with sesame oil, soy sauce and scallions tonight.
    Next time I might bash the lemongrass into a paste instead of chopping as I couldn't chop it fine enough. Also, the Cinnamon was difficult to grind manually so I may invest in a spice grinder.

    I added cream to the recipe as I had some spare in the fridge, nice touch.

    Thanks a million for this recipe OP, possibly the most authentic curry I have ever made. I'm still licking my lips
