For the caramelized hazelnuts:
1. Put the water and sugar into a pan and heat to 240ºF (thread point).
2. Add the hazelnuts and remove from the heat. Stir slowly with a spatula until the sugar crystallizes and coats the nuts.
3. Put the hazelnuts in the widest pan you have and begin to caramelize them over a medium heat, making sure that they do not stick together.
4. Spread the caramelized nuts over a piece of greaseproof paper to cool. Separate any that have stuck together.
5. Season with salt, pepper and curry while they are still hot.
