Tribal People's First Experience With Thai Food
About this video
In this Tribal People Try episode it's thai food. The tribe look it over, ask the questions anyone would, and then taste it and give the honest answer.
What is thai food?
Thai food: green and red curries, pad thai, tom yum, mango sticky rice. Coconut milk, lemongrass, fish sauce, lime and fresh chilli — a spicy cuisine built on completely different aromatics from Punjabi cooking.
What to watch for
The heat is welcome; fish sauce and lemongrass are the new notes. Coconut-milk curry is thinner and sweeter than a Punjabi salan and is usually described as a soup. Mango sticky rice is a straightforward win.
The comparison they always make
It is spicy and it is eaten with rice, so the format works. What is missing, to a Punjabi palate, is the browned onion and garam masala base that every curry here starts with.
