No chillies! No Coriander! No Thai Food!

When we arrived in Brazil we where very enthusiastic about everything. Too much enthusiasm...

We found out that with the exception of the state of Bahia, and a few places near it, Brazilian people are not  prepared to have a Thai food experience.

Most people are hypersensitive to chillies e the others who venture into chilli land don't like coriander, also there is a smaller but significant group who express there dissatisfaction with everything ginger.

Well how do you make Thai Curry this way?
Well you don't!


The fact is that Thai restaurants in São Paulo are so rare and when you can find one the food as far as it can be from authentic Thai food.

Coriander (coentro in portuguese) also one of the main ingredients of basic Thai food is not that much appreciated and assimilated in the southern part of Brazil. Apparently it's presence is restricted to a few black beans related dishes .

To have it settled, there is a tendency to mix up "moqueca" with Thai curry, as the closest resemblance  ( the coconut milk) drags the sensitive Brazilian palate to consider Thai Curry too hot, too strong too whatever.


A few people ventured into the Thai food! They end up HOOKED like me into these lovely dishes.

Using mostly original ingredients and a few "local ones" I'll post soon some less than 20 minutes total prepare time meals using the basic Thai Curries.
