Product Description

SPECIAL FOR FATHER'S DAY - OUR THAI TRIO AT $10 OFF!

This dish will take you back in time to when Thailand was known as the Kingdom of Siam. The capital, Ayutthaya, was well traveled by the Moors then who favored the spicy dishes served by their hosts. The most popular of the dishes even then was the green curry with its deceivingly cool looking color. Alarmed by the strength of the spice, it was the Moors in 1350 that suggested that milk be added to the dish to ease the heat. Using the milk on hand (coconut milk) the dish was forever transformed resulting in the popular flavor known today. The sweet jasmine scented sponge cakes called puffy cups sooth the tingly feeling left in the mouth from the spices.

Serves 4 - 6 adults

Kits include: green curry paste, palm sugar, rice flour, jasmine water, baking soda, sugar, jasmine rice, preparation instructions, shopping list, table setting suggestions and Tea & Trivia.

This dish is NOT Kosher, nor is it possible to make this purely vegetarian due to the green curry paste. Contact info(at)destinationdinners.com for more information.

I received this kit as a Christmas present. I prepared it last night for several of my friends and everyone loved it! It was wonderfully spicy and delicious! I would recommend it to anyone.

Tips for Serving Just a Few

If you are making this dish for just a few, we recommend that you make the curry with the complete recommended amount and store the leftovers for up to a week in the fridge. The puffy cups, however, we recommend you use half portions of the ingredients. Puffy cups are best enjoyed freshly made.

One note on the leftovers, they tend to be a bit spicier than the fresh since the flavors have more time to permeate the chicken and vegetables. Remember, if the spice is too hot for you, drink milk or eat rice or bread. Water will only spread the heat, not sooth it.
