I adapted this dish from another famous one called Gaeng Ped Bhed Yang (Thai Grilled duck red curry). This curry is different from a normal red curry as we add pineapple and tomatoes to it. The characteristic of this curry is sweet, sour and a little salty.

The better the roast duck, the better the curry. You can buy roast duck (Cantonese style) from a Chinese take away or you can make simple roast duck as per this recipe.

This curry can be seasoned up to your taste. #onerecipeonetree
