WHY THE INTERNET IS WRONG ABOUT JUNGLE CURRY | Full cooking Tutorial

If you're a fan of Jungle Curry - this video is for you. You will get a full tutorial on how to make both the paste and the curry as well as a unique insight into the actual origin of Gaeng Pa or jungle curry.

Mainstream internet content suggest that the name Jungle Curry stem from it being made from ingredients you can find in the jungle, that it is simply a curry that Thai people make in the jungle, or even that all the greens in it bring to mind a jungle hence the name - but nothing could be further from the actual origin of its name.

In this video I'd like to bring the Thai perspective on the history of this dish, which is very different from what you may have been exposed to through English speaking media and content creators.

Please watch the video to find out!

[HIBredAsian]

Thank you for setting your culture culinary straight, for those who are getting their info wrong/right. I was very ignorant on this specific dishe's history.

[watermelon]

thank you for explaining that, i love " jungle " curry, its so good, very complex, and well balanced. or i should call it arty curry now ? 😁

[hotspurschool]

This looks absolutely AMAZING! I'll definitely be cooking this soon. Will I like it more than Pad Ka Prao? That's a tough question!

[ericjenkin]

So not similar to 'full English breakfast' by thee who I shalt name. Needles to say it's not music, unless you consider food to be so, who knows..?!! But this looks amazing, I love spicy food I will make, thank you

[muratsevincek]

It really has an acquired taste. I tried it and couldn't eat it, the flavour and smell was nothing I've ever had. Super spicy too

[derelictlumberbatch]

Super, but we all know why she did not address the green peppers. You simply cannot get green peppercorn. It is sold black in many stores in big cities. Never seen it green.
