Try Thai The Indian Way

Did you ever try the sensational Thai recipes in your kitchen? Well,I did. Last weekend,my neighbours who are really fond of Thai Cuisines were invited for dinner. They also like travelling a lot and never miss an opportunity to taste the distinctive and unique flavoured Thai cuisine in every corner of the world.And since I am fond of cooking, I did not want to miss the chance of trying a few of my favourite Thai recipes...the ingredients for which can be substituted with those found in India or elsewhere with similar flavor and aroma.

The menu comprised of a tangy soup,non-veg pad Thai noodles,appetising spring rolls,a cooling salad,steamed rice with Thai green curry and a creme caramel pudding.However,today I shall be writing about my most preferent,Pad Thai Noodles with substitutes for an Indian kitchen. The Ingredients are:-

1 packet of thin rice sticks(available in most hypermarkets) A bunch of bok choy(can be substituted by Chinese cabbage or Indian cabbage)
A bunch of spring onion
4 pods of garlic chopped
1 small bowl of roasted and ground peanuts
chicken,mushroom and shrimps(as much as you like)
2 scrambled eggs
A handful of sprouted of green lentils(moong)

For the Sauce:-

2tbsp of tamarind paste
2tsp of fish sauce or soy sauce
1tbsp of brown sugar or ordinary sugar
Salt to Taste

Method:-

Boil the noodles until slightly tender.Drain,rinse with cold water and keep aside.You may apply a little oil so that they don't stick to each other.Prepare the scrambled eggs too and keep aside. For the sauce ,mix all the ingredients and stir on a gas stove for a while.Taste to check if the combination is that of sweet and sour.It should be more towards sweet.For slightly hotter taste, may add a little chili sauce to it.


Heat a wok(kadhai),,add chopped garlic,cabbage,spring onion,When they are tender,add the boiled and shredded chicken pieces.Also add the sauteed mushrooms and shrimps.Now add the boiled noodles,and the prepared tamarind sauce and saute. Garnish with spring onions,sprouted lentils and roasted and crushed peanuts and savour your Pad Thai Noodles.


The food succeeded in tickling the taste buds of my neighbours and they stuffed themselves to the brim.Now, a comment like 'awesome' coming from someone who have relished Thai cuisine in every nook and corner of the world,means quite close to the authentic one.So, get set and try this delicious recipe and tell me how it turned out to be.Remain hooked for my upcoming posts of more Thai recipes which too can be cooked in an Indian kitchen or elsewhere outside the land of thousand smiles-Thailand.
