Rich and comforting is an understatement when you’re talking about Thai pongali curry.
The main flavoring spice is common yellow curry powder which is cooked with a meat of choice. The unique secret of the recipe is an egg that’s added to the dish to make it a thick eggy curry that tastes outstanding. A few chopped onions, chillies and celery make it complete.
Boo pad pongali, or crab pongali curry, is another highly prized version of this dish, available at all seafood restaurants throughout Bangkok.
