First sour orange curry in Australia :)











"Gaeng Som Mu Kub Man Ted"
Sour Curry, or "Gaeng Som" as the Thais call,
it is one of my favourite recipes.
Some people call it yellow curry.
Ganeg Som is made from an "orange" paste
that can be bought in most markets,
be made freshly in Thailand.
Well, now I am in Australia,
but it is not hard to find for cooking also...
although don't have fresh turmeric,
but i can use turmeric powder instead of the fresh one..
and test nice also.Try it:)

Ingredients
  • pork 1/4 Kilo(a little bit fat with pork is nice: i like abit fat on pork)
  • Dry Chilli (small size) - 8 chillies
  • sweet potato 1 fruit
  • tamarind Syrup 4 ladlefuls/cups
  • turmeric powder 1 teaspoon
  • lamon 1/2 friut
  • fish sauce 3 teaspoons
  • sugar plam 2 picees
  • garlic about 5-6 roots
  • shrimp paste whice i bought from asian supermarket in Town 1/2 teaspoon

    sugar, fish sauce,tamarind water and lamon juice then bring in to a boil again

"This curry is quite hot.

Adjust seasonings to a balance of salty-sour-hot by adding more tamarinwater, fish sauce, or chile to your taste. This is served with steamed jasmine rice.It’s very nice"
