Tom Kha Gai? The other side to another Thai Soup (Seafood Tom Yum Soup), or can be said as another style to Tom Yum Soup basically (Tom Yum Chicken). Whatever you like to add into Tom Kha Gai, in other words, ranging from seafood, poultry and meat, though I can't say if beef is suitable, the rest I have already mentioned should be food fine (Thai Green Fish Curry, Shrimp Pad Thai Salad & Thai Steamed Fish). Of course, when we speak about Thai cuisine overall, what should we expect? Obviously, the big, bold and power packing tastes (Spicy Thai Noodles & Thai Carrot Soup)? Sure. We shouldn't dispute, should we? Of course not. Herbs, fish sauce and chillies naturally are some of the key ingredients, for this Thai Soup, Tom Kha Gai, we crucially need a good run of coconut milk (Thai Vegetable Curry, Shrimp Coconut & Creamy Coconut Lentil Curry) and I opted for fish as well (Thai Fish Noodle Soup). Tom Kha Gai. The burst of Thai tremendous deliciousness.

Nava, I agree with Pavitra here. I saw it on Google+ and was tempted to check out the recipe. The sweetness of coconut with lemon juice and flavor of lemon grass would be great in this soup. I tried using lemongrass first time in steamed rice. It was good.
ReplyDeleteLooks very tempting.. I love Thai flavour.. But some of the ingredients I am not familiar with :(
ReplyDeleteAwesome! The hubby loves this dish... will try to make it for him...but the worry is when he overeats rice when he sees such lovely and appetizing gravy.
ReplyDeleteNava,this looks soo inviting I did visit all ur posts on poached pears, pandan one looks so beautifully green I did feel like eating a piece out of it.
ReplyDeleteCoconut milk adds that extra delicious flavour my friend, your fish is gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
