Neville is a great recipe! Been meaning to prepare something Thai - I have a book for Thai cuisine, but I'm not sure how successful recipes. I could not find dried chili peppers and replaced them with some ground chili flakes. However, the result is as!

I am very glad that you liked the recipe, we are big fans of Thai cuisine and cashew chicken is a favorite of Paul :) If there is somewhere around you Asian store, I'm sure there will sell dried peppers bags (is smaller cuts).
