What it is
A rich, creamy, and aromatic fish curry from Southern Thailand, made with a base of fish, coconut milk, and a complex curry paste. Traditionally served with fermented rice noodles, but modified here to be served as a flavorful stew or soup without noodles.
Key ingredients
Fish (e.g., Mackerel, Basa), full-fat coconut milk, curry paste (galangal, lemongrass, chilies, garlic, shallots, shrimp paste, wild ginger/krachai), fish sauce, a touch of palm sugar (restaurant default), water/fish stock.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, request NO noodles. Confirm no added sugar/palm sugar in the curry. Ask for extra low-carb vegetables like mushrooms or green beans if desired.
