I love Thai food. I love the rich, tangy flavor that lingers in your mouth and in your mind long after you’ve left a Thai food joint. I’ve always wanted to cook Thai food but honestly intimidated by it all – even from looking at the ‘exotic’ ingredients alone!
Lemon grass, galangal,masaman paste, etc…the list goes on.
Thankfully, World Foods sauces, pastes, marinades and ready to pour sauces will hopefully lessen the difficulty barrier.So here goes my first challenge.

The Masaman curry sauce was mild and I did not have to worry about my daughter not eating it. The potatoes go so well with this curry dish that even the baby loved it (mashed). If you can find the ingredients in your area, try this recipe. It’s so delicious with rice!

You can tell how heavy this dish is just by looking at the sauce. What better way to wash down all that richness than with a glass of white! š It never fails to amaze me how a decent wine can make a dish dance in your mouth.

Judging by this mouth-watering picture your first challenge was a success! You are so talented! I also tried to do something like that, but I did not succeed. I relied on this recipe http://cookiteasy.net/recipe/chicken-curry-326907.html (of course, the recipe is hardly a reason for my culinary mishaps)), I was advised it once as good but I have not been able to make those beautiful food pictures real. But I will try again and with your recipe. Your blog inspires me to it!
By the way, I also have a kid. So I take a note to use masaman curry sauce. It is just right for my family too.
