Use it up Thai Red Chicken Curry

I did not follow a Recipe . Have made a Thai Green Curry before, so the Thai Red Curry is similar to the Thai Green Curry, but is Red because I used Red Chillies and a tin of chopped tomatoes. The ingredients were not fresh - my tubes of Garlic Puree and tubes of Ginger Puree in the Fridge were 2 months past their Used by Date and the unopened bag of raw Parsley was 5 days past its Used by Date and the 8 Red Chillies were old and wrinkly
