The curry paste was rather redder than I thought it would be, but the final dish still turned out orangey rather than red, which is what we were expecting. The white peppercorns were very fragrant indeed and we could smell them all the way from first grinding them for the paste through to the final, finished curry. I suspect the coriander should have been as identifiable, but instead of roasting and then crushing the seeds, I just used ready-crushed ones from a bottle; next time I'll do it properly.
