- Heat the curry paste in a large saucepan until fragrant. Add coconut milk, stock, lime leaves, fish sauce and lime juice, and bring to a simmer. Simmer 5 minutes.

- Serve sprinkled with sliced chillies and remaining basil leaves.
Tip
As an alternative, you could use pan-seared duck breasts. Simply heat a large frying pan over medium high heat and, once hot, sear four to five duck breasts skin-side down till well browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Turn and cook a further 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover with foil while you prepare the other curry ingredients. Once ready to add to the curry in step 2, slice the duck and add to the coconut-curry mixture.
