A little glimpse on Thai food

Thai cuisine is becoming very popular in restaurants and many other places. In Thai cooking they use fresh ingredients to create a unique Thai taste. Often Thai dishes are said to be fiery and hot, but to me it is fresh, aromatic, flavoured and well enjoyed. To define Thai taste it has all the five flavours like sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty. They try to bring all flavours in one dish. My first Thai dish which I tasted was tom yum goong (hot and sour prawn soup), I loved it so much that, where ever I see this dish I used to order. Thai cuisine has very famous and popular dishes like pad thai(noodle dish), fish or prawn cake, green curry, red curry, panang and massaman curry, sticky rice, coconut rice, roti and sweets like mango with sticky rice and many more.

Several Thai dishes have health benefits like tom yum soup currently studied for it health benefits. Many of the fresh herbs and spices used in thai cuisine have immune boosting and disease fighting power.

Rice is a staple grain of Thai cuisine in Thailand, especially jasmine rice. Sticky rice is very popular and goes well with curries. In breakfast, lunch and dinner rice plays a vital role.

Noodles are popular and served as a single dish like pad thai.

Fish sauce(Nam Pla), which plays a very important role in curries and other dishes and even oyster sauce which is used in noodles and other thai dishes.

Thai uses fresh vegetables egg plants, bamboo shoots and herbs like kaffir lime leaves(which is from a wild lime plant), lemon grass which has a lemony flavour and fragrant. In Thai cuisine to make curry paste basic and important ingredients are galangal like ginger, garlic, coriander root, shallots (like sambar onions or small onions), kaffir lime leaves (a special thai lime, can use its rid outer skin for the curry or ordinary lime also we can use alternatively), shrimp paste (kapi), birds eye chilli (very hot and spicy) are used to make a basic curry paste. From this paste if you want to make curry like panang or massaman curry, few more ingredients are added. For garnishing red chillies and sweet basil leaves are used. With curry paste can add in the soups, noodles and can make fish cake which is the most popular dish in Thai. Many people visit Thailand to attend cookery classes and as well for tour.

In Thai cuisine, with main course, even salads like ajad or ar-jard(pickled cucumber) and dips are provided which is basically chillies in vinegar or red chilli paste in oil with other ingredients.

To make Thai dishes we need to learn about the ingredients and their taste, and then it will be very easy for you to use the ingredients as per taste.

Ingredients like kaffir lime leaf alternatively can use lime rid (grated, green part only) , for shrimp paste use more fish sauce, galangal use ginger instead, shallots use ordinary onion, palm sugar can use white sugar(caster sugar).
