Curry
The Indian influence on Thai food is most evident in the popular curries,
but the curries served in Thailand have their own style. This is because
the Thai cooks start by pounding fresh herbs and spices, and occasionally
other ingredients, together to make a wet paste, unlike in India, where
curries are flavoured with blends of dry herbs and spices. Quick cooking
Thai curries are usually simmered uncovered
in coconut milk and tend to contain a small proportion of solid to liquid,
as the hot, spices juices are absorbed by the rice that is the usual
accompaniment. It is also an economical way to feed more people.
