Cook's Notes:

• This is also good with lamb, but because it has prawn powder in the spice mix and fish sauce in the recipe it will not be at its best if cooked with fresh prawns! Most of our curries are very versatile, and we encourage you to play around with different meat or vegetable options, but this is the big exception!
