Thai Jungle Seafood Curry

Jungle curry (kaeng paa moo) is unlike most other Thai curries as it does not contain coconut milk. The reason for this is because coconuts do not grow in the jungles of northern Thailand, which is where the recipe originated. Hence, a jungle curry is meant to have a watery, rather than creamy, consistency. This type of curry is not for the faint-hearted - its traditionally an extremely hot curry, with the paste often including a considerable dose of young peppercorns.
