Jungle Curry Paste: Thai Traditional Dish

Jungle Curry Paste: Thai Traditional Dish – Jungle Curry is a traditional food from native Central Northern Thailand. This food is a one of a kind curry that does not contain coconut milk on it and more watery than the other ordinary curry we known. The absence of the coconut milk on this jungle curry, because it is so hard for the Thailand cook to find out the coconut tree on the region.

Because the jungle curry has no coconut milk on it, it tastes spicier than the curry containing coconut milk. It will be good recommendation for people who love spicy food. The jungle curry traditionally is cooked with wild boar, but recently cooks use pork for the food. If you do not eat pork, you can replace it with chicken.
