Conclusion
Khua kling (คั่วกลิ้ง) is one of standard dishes you’ll find in southern Thailand. I like to compare it to a strong flavored dry sausage that’s lean and with no casing; It’s a heavily spiced meat dish.
The southern Thai curry paste is orange from turmeric, and it gives the khua kling (คั่วกลิ้ง) a beautiful, well rounded flavor, with garlic, lemongrass, shallots and chilies. The addition of more lemongrass and finely shaved kaffir lime leaves contributes to balancing the spicy meat with a fresh citrusy component.
Whenever I eat at a southern Thai restaurant in Bangkok or anywhere in Thailand, one of the dishes I can never do without ordering, is a plate of khua kling (คั่วกลิ้ง), and luckily, it’s pretty straight forward to make it at home too.
