Tip
Cooking time will vary depending on your oven and the size of chicken thighs used to adjust time accordingly to ensure the chicken is not over or under done.
Fresh galangal and fresh turmeric can be found at Asian grocers or specialty spice stores - it is well worth sourcing these ingredients as the flavour is absolutely amazing! Fresh galangal and turmeric freeze will so when you see them, grab some - that way you will always have them on hand.
Don't have fresh spices? No worries. It's the particular flavour combination that makes this dish a winner so, although fresh turmeric/galangal and freshly roasted/ground spices will give a greater depth of flavour, pre-ground or dried spices should still give a delicious result.

Delicious!!!
Every time I make this I'm blown away by the fantastic flavours!!! Managed to find all the fresh spices so roasted them all this time - amazing
very delicious! i had to improvise with mostly dried/packaged ingredients, due to lack of fresh ingredient availability but still turned out wonderfully!
Thanks Chris! We were all blown away by the flavour as well. I must say though that all credit for the recipe has to go to Donna Hay... I just wrote it in Thermie language and posted it up here so that everyone else can make it and go "WOW" too
It think it's the flavour combination that's important so, although fresh turmeric/galangal and freshly ground spices would have a more intense flavour, dried and pre-ground would still give a great result. I've written this in the tips section, thanks! 
Oh my. The flavours in this curry are absolutely amazing!! Hubby and dinner party guest were suitable impressed
It's definitely worth sourcing the fresh ingredients.
