Khao Rad Gaeng

 
Khao Gaeng is a Thai curry and a stalwart of Thai cuisine that is made with various types of curry paste. A Thai curry dish is made from curry paste, coconut milk or water, meat, seafood, vegetables or fruit, and herbs. Curries in Thailand mainly differ from the curries in Indian cuisine. In Thailand, they use fresh ingredients such as herbs and aromatic leaves over a mix of spices. Khao Kaeng or Khao Rad Kaeng, meaning “curry-on-rice”, is a traditional type of fast food restaurant in Thailand which specializes in ready-made curries, and often several other dishes as well, all served with rice. It is a true blend of flavors that is impressive. The combination of salty, sweet, spicy, and sour is very fragrant and is blended together perfectly. When you order the dish, don’t forget to ask them to cook it to your specification, depending on how much spice you can handle. Thai curry with rice is one of the most famous Thai street foods, easily found in every community and on the road-side. This is the epitome of how Thai people like their food – quick, easy, tasty and inexpensive, perfect for people living on a budget who don’t want to sacrifice quality.
