Trivia
The word curry is the same in both the Indian and Thai context yet they both are very different from each other. While Indian curries are a mix of dry spices with a heavy preparation, Thai curries, on the other hand, are a blend of fresh herbs and flavorful curry pastes that are thick and mushy.
