  • If you're a fan of Jungle Curry - this video is for you. You will get a full tutorial on how to make both the paste and the curry as well as a unique insight into the actual origin of Gaeng Pa or jungle curry.
    Mainstream internet content suggest that the name Jungle Curry stem from it being made from ingredients you can find in the jungle, that it is simply a curry that Thai people make in the jungle, or even that all the greens in it bring to mind a jungle hence the name - but nothing could be further from the actual origin of its name.
    In this video I'd like to bring the Thai perspective on the history of this dish, which is very different from what you may have been exposed to through English speaking media and content creators.
    Please watch the video to find out!

      I live in a pretty much an out of the way place in the UK. It really is worth getting genuine Thai ingredients at a good Asian supermarket - which I can access - or online. It might seem expensive, but you will be producing food equal to Thai rural home cooking and most likely better than most restaurants outside of Thailand.
      And when it comes to what are basically 'weeds' gathered from the garden in Thailand we just need to get creative and stsrt using our own weeds that are appropriate ❤

    • @squange20
      @squange20 Год назад

      @@johnyeates2156 Thanks John. I never would’ve thought that you can get fresh Thai ingredients in the remote parts of the UK. As it’s pretty warm in the upper North Island of NZ, I grow galangal, Thai basil and turmeric. I’ve now also got lemongrass, so most of the basic Thai ingredients. I will have to hunt in Asian shops for finger root when I travel down to Auckland. And yes, I freeze most of my herbs for winter use. So handy. As for weeds, we have plenty of those here, as it rains a lot, so have to research which weeds are edible. I know the dandelion is used too, but not sure of the others. There’s a strange weed if left grows to a metre high with yellow flowers, and the seeds from those flowers are spiky and latch onto clothing or gloves. You have a great day.

      @@WorldofThaiFood Yesterday I did a grand tour of my city for peppercorns. It is a decently big one with about ten asian food stores and when I was about done I went into the newly opened one. They had really improved since the opening and was gearing up! They have a rather off-putting name: "Pocky", so I had stupidly refrained to go there.. lol. Now lots of fresh produce and fresh green peppercorns! Good variety of frozen fish and meats, even tripe.
      Bought and made "jungle curry" mostly to your recipe. It was more generous on chillies and lacking of lime peel and stink beans. Protein was shrimp and I like it crunchy so i tossed that in at the very end and cooked for a minute or two before the holy basil went in and heat off. Turned out that the shrimp and the thai eggplant got almost the same sweet crunch! Bloody amazing! TY for the inspiration!
      Kind of funny how it is with produce. I think my country only have one gross importer of asian foods because all stores are restocked once a week on tuesdays. I had a chat with a charming employee at one store and he said all stores buy from the same place. Trying to cook something that requires like holy basil or garlic chives on a sunday is neigh impossible unless you want to cook with grey basil. :)
