This is a staple in our rotation. My family makes this at least 3 times a year! Thank you for this recipe. I grew Thai chilis in my garden, dried them and use them in abundance in place of the birds-eye. I think you’ve inspired me to grow them next season. I live in Seattle so these ingredients are easily found in our neighborhood Thai grocery store- I have so much fun shopping for this dinner night. ❤❤❤
Hi Marion, Betel leaves are used extensively in Hindu rituals as well as in what we call "paan" (a digestive eaten after a meal). So if you haven't already, I'd suggest checking with your local Indian grocer
Not the Indian type of "paan" leaves... the "wild betel leaves" used in Malaysian / Singaporean / Thai / Vietnamese etc. cooking is a salad ingredient with more zing, but has no stimulating properties like the proper "betel". These are "bai cha pluu" (Thai), "daun kadok" (Malaysian), or "bo la lot" (Vietnamese). It's actually a creeper that grows quite wild, and used to be easily found growing in hedgerows or on fences, or on fringes of the wilds. [We also have the proper betel quids here, it's an important part of local rituals & culture, but that uses the proper betel leaf + betel nut, tobacco, slaked lime = leaves you with puckered cheeks and red mouth!]
Marion, I loved the recipe but what I really loved was how this was such a personal culinary journey for you. Your passion & the joy you show to your audience just can’t be surpassed. Not only do you inspire me to cook, watching your videos always puts a smile on my face.
I just tried it out today and only had Galangal paste for the curry base but this is an instant staple in my house now....what a spicy explosion of exotic noshability you have provided us with here. This is the dogs danglies of the curry world...in case anyone is left wondering, I frigging love this curry!
After watching her recipes i understand that thai dishes do resemble south indian dishes a looooot❤️❤️... Loved it... The methods and ingredients used are almost similar even the process... 😍😍
When I was in Trivandrum 2019, many dishes there make me feel homesick since I spend my teenage in Southern Thailand before move back to Bangkok. I really love Kerala foods.
I think this is the crab curry that I had on Koh Samui so many years ago. It was life changing! And, I have not been able to find a similar curry in any Thai restaurant in the US. This is the first time I've seen a recipe. Thank you! The restaurant was at the Tongsai Bay hotel and I think the menu listed the dish with the word "prik" พริก in the name, which Google translate tells me means "pepper, chilli sauce" . I will try to recreate and see if it brings backs memories of having escaped Bangkok one night early (the husband and I were too overwhelmed by Bangkok) and splurging on a night at the Tonsai Bay Hotel before going on to the most amazing Tamarind Springs.
I love your gift to the eaters of the world and appreciate you and your mom sharing your innovative/traditional recipes. Your production is so enjoyable...who is on this soundtrack, it is light and happy, would like to buy their music, who are the artists enhancing your video, so tasteful on all levels! Thank you, Lisa
I made this last night and it was so great. I substituted the crab with some halibut steaks that I cooked in the curry, then flaked them afterwards - and it was amazing. Still have some more curry in the freezer for next time!
Marion thank you for helping me over my young sisters death,. You stopped the the constant head battering . You’ve given a novice but lover of food a-will to carry on going. I love your easy and down to earth way . God bless you girl .Xs

I love your cooking, Marion!! And I love your giggle... and that bling on your hand when you're showing off ingredients or what's in the pot. Your videos are a joy!
Thank you for this recipe. I am in Washington and was able to snag all of these ingredients including the Betel leaf. So far I've made this twice using the same curry paste as a base. The first time was chicken ( my wife is not a seafood person) and was fantastic. Used a shredded dark meat chicken to imitate the crab texture. However the night we used crab was beautiful. Excellent recipe, story, and your enthusiasm sells. Liked and subbed. Thank you.
That’s more peppers than I’ve eaten in my entire life. More videos on creating curry mixes/ powders as well as curry pastes would be great. I’d like to be able to have different mixes on hand. Beautiful presentation as always.
Man I wish if we had some of these ingredients at our market...This looks amazing I could almost taste it and that amazing aroma coming off the screen!
I tried this recipe for my dad's anniversary and it was soooooo good! Everyone was really happy, I've been surprised by the taste and the flavours of this soup. Thanks from France ;)
Oh My GOD I tried this curry with fish, onions and yellow bell pepper and it was AMAZING! It´s similar to the brazilian moqueca, but more spicy and fresh. Highly recommend
Made this tonight.....OMG....SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. Thank you again. Used rice noodles and there simply was not enough substance to 'fill me up'. Next time instead of crab I will do chicken and use rice....I think. Either way, the curry is THE BEST.
This is one of my fav recipe. Due to IBS I can’t go too hot, so I use just a couple of chillies and it turns out perfect. Hint: do try to find galangal, the dish is not the same without it. Amazon sells it in paste or powder form
I’m going to try this with some poached chicken breast chunks because I’m allergic to seafood. Oddly enough, due to the fermentation aspect, I can still use fish sauce and shrimp paste in dishes without having a reaction. But crab meat would kill me, lol!
Michelle, That makes a lot of sense! I often wondered why I cannot eat fresh oysters, but am fine with oyster sauce. Strangely, I get super itchy with North American lobster, but can eat crab (and shrimp) without any problems. Fermentation makes total sense. Thank you!
I can't make half your dishes because I live in the middle of nowhere and it's impossible to get these ingredients, but I'm still gonna watch all your videos.
We enjoyed this dish at Khua Kling Pak Sod in Sukhumvit on our honeymoon, per your recommendation. It was one of my favorite dishes during our trip, and I am so, SO happy that you’ve shared this recipe. I can’t wait to try to recreate this at home! Thanks, Marion!
My family is from the Chesapeake (the largest estuary in North America and where "Crab is King"). We start feeding crab to our kids very early, so...any chance to use crab in a new recipe, I'm totally down. But, THIS may prove to be my all time favorite way to eat crab. Will report back and thanks again for your awesome Thai recipes.
I wanted a special meal to celebrate an achievement for me and my family to share. Perfect timing. Prawn curry has always been my favourite and I hope Crab curry makes the list. Thanks Marion.
@@vanessaxpereira ohhhh. Was very very good. Umm, is there such a thing as a “master paste”? I’m making it again tonight and adding my leftover paste to tonight’s new paste. I made mine last night with snapper and it was SUPERB. I also added some finely shredded green mango and extra coriander as a garnish. Yumm!
South East Asian countries has two types of betel leaves..one vegetable the other one like Indian betel leaves taking with betel nuts..the vegetable either use making salad, eating raw with chillis, with peanuts, like etc
I'm such a baby when it comes to spice, but LOVE the idea of using crab in curry!!! PS - Very glad to hear you use the name Makrut lime leaves instead of the more common name. I read over the summer about how the other name is quite offensive and have stopped using it as well.
I agree Jonathan. It’s easy enough to make any small changes we can. Even if it’s just the name of something. Actually Makrut is the Thai word for it anyway 👍
I had no idea. Will never use the word again. Thanks for the public service message. Marion is correct makrut is the Thai word. Of course she would know since she lived there. Lol.
Don't know if anyone has commented on this before, but calling them makrut leaves is something that I, and I'm sure lots of fellow South Africans appreciate♥️🇿🇦
@@baratangmenong6168 Hey, I have seen dried ones at Asian supermarkets and deli's in Cape Town a few times, you can also get them frozen at some places.
Marion, maybe all the "wild betel leaves" were used up at the Lunar New Year... happened to us one year. Went round to about eight different Vietnamese grocery stores in Inala and Darra, and yet no "bo la lot". Apparently, they're very popular especially for wrapping marinated beef for BBQ, so the yearly "Tet Fair" might have snapped up every last bunch! Anyhoo, the creeper for these "bai cha plu" is easy to grow in subtropical Brisbane, and if your local garden centre doesn't have it, it's available via post as a "tubestock" ready to plant. Here in Malaysia, it grows easily given a chance, it does like a fence or structure to creep up. Once you have it going, you'll be using it in all kinds of ways... in "haw mok" (spicy fish "mousse" in banana leaves, with the wild betel leaf at the base), or the beautiful "mieng kham" (DIY leaf appetizers with sweet tamarind sauce). Makes for a lovely herb to accompany a salad plate to cool the palate too. For those comments where readers have said that it's "betel leaf", it's NOT the same as the proper betel or Indian "paan" leaf. The proper betel leaf has stimulating qualities that might knock the uninitiated for a six! Please google "bai cha plu vs bai plu" to see photos of the difference in the leaves.
i just learned how to cook curries in the last six months since covid and being at home omg i didnt know what i was missing its awesome and i cook all those different curries too :)
All through this video, I was thinking of two things nonstop. 1) Yum... are you kidding me? Yummm!! 2) All hail my brave Thai Curry Queen, preparing and eating curry wearing a WHITE blouse! ( And you were worried about the turmeric staining your blender yellow? LOL, yeah, uhuh!)
Looks amazing. I never had Thai food Would love try it but we don't have most of these ingredients in my country. Thanks for sharing one of your amazing recipes 😀
Hi Marion, I tried this dish with lesser chilies and using betel leaves, and I used to fillet fish instead, it's so yummy, it has this authentic traditional herbal taste to it, coming from the betel leaves. I'm Asian and loving this dish, it's not too hard to find these ingredients in BC, Vancouver. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Worth the try!
It amaze me how you can squeeze out those dried chillies with your hands with no burning sensation! Any tips? By the way, I tried that curry in Thailand and it is super yummy and yes, it is fiercely hot!
All your recipes look amazing! I’m actually really glad you are showing some substitutions as a lot of ingredients are hard to find. Have 2 questions... #1. I have dried ghalangal, can or should I rehydrate it to use in paste, or should I put it in like.a bay leaf and remove? #2. Birds eye chilli... can you use fresh? Can fresh be frozen then used? Should the dried ones always be rehydrated before using? (This is an ingredient I love in Thai restaurants but it is not something I know much about or how to use... please help!)
For both ingredients, there are two ways I've prepared them: 1) Dry process. Powdering them in a (clean & dry) burr coffee grinder, then adding the powder into the wet aromats / herbs. In particular, if you find that the dry chilies seem very "stubborn" and kind of "rubbery" and won't process finely, a light toasting in a warm oven will crisp them up and they'll be much more crumbly and I find they grind to a fine powder very quickly in my dry spice mill. 2) Wet process. Soak in hot water, then pulverise them using as much of the soaking water as needed. With the dried galangal slices, soak it in as little hot water as possible, then use as much of the soaking water as some of the flavour will leach out. Dry galangal slices need to be soaked & ground / powdered, but there's also galangal powder, sometimes sold as "laos powder". With birds eye chillies, you can use either fresh, frozen or dried, depending on your taste and availability in your area. I've found that the fresh birds eye chilies seem even more "zingy" as the essential oils are there and they are really hot.
Love Southern Thai Curries! Using crab is such a good idea. Marion, do you happen to have a Nam Prik Ong recipe or could make a video for it? I know you are busy so no worries if you can't. Subscribed :)
I love it when you said ‘Almost gonna die hot’. I hope you can try and make your version of Filipino Adobo. :) Looking forward to see it on your channel. 😁
This is Has jumped to the top of my list of things to cook next. That said I really don’t want to be as hot as you appeared to make it. I have dried red Italian long hot peppers that I think I will substitute for about 2/3 of the Thai bird chiles. I will also toss in a few Grouper cheeks. I think it will be amazing thanks to you.
This is a staple in our rotation. My family makes this at least 3 times a year! Thank you for this recipe.

These are thai basil not indian basil

Great recipe, I made this the other night. Brings me back to Thailand. Thanks Marion.
We get the majority of ingredients where I am and love Marion's recipes.

I remember reading recipes back in the 1960's and 1970's that used the term 'Chinese Parsley' for coriander leaves/cilantro.

Obviously the colour
I was looking for a yaki udon recipe and ended up here. This looks awesome and I have all the ingredients. Yay!
Thanks Marion! Made this today, used prawns instead and everyone loved it
You're sooo smart. I will try prawns
I love curry and your curry recipe looks amazingly delicious!

Apparently, they're very popular especially for wrapping marinated beef for BBQ, so the yearly "Tet Fair" might have snapped up every last bunch!
Anyhoo, the creeper for these "bai cha plu" is easy to grow in subtropical Brisbane, and if your local garden centre doesn't have it, it's available via post as a "tubestock" ready to plant.

The bravest women in cooking. White shirt cooking curries...🦸♂️ Can't wait to try this Curry.
Wow looks amazing I had red crab curry with whole crabs but this looks easy and more flavor also less messy lol. I will try it

It amaze me how you can squeeze out those dried chillies with your hands with no burning sensation! Any tips? By the way, I tried that curry in Thailand and it is super yummy and yes, it is fiercely hot!
All your recipes look amazing! I’m actually really glad you are showing some substitutions as a lot of ingredients are hard to find. Have 2 questions...

#2. Birds eye chilli... can you use fresh? Can fresh be frozen then used? Should the dried ones always be rehydrated before using? (This is an ingredient I love in Thai restaurants but it is not something I know much about or how to use... please help!)
For both ingredients, there are two ways I've prepared them:

You’re a bloody legend Marion
Love Southern Thai Curries! Using crab is such a good idea. Marion, do you happen to have a Nam Prik Ong recipe or could make a video for it? I know you are busy so no worries if you can't. Subscribed :)
this was an emotional experience
Why was it? 🙂
Fabulous as usual. I will be making this!
YUM!! Can't wait to try this with prawns. Marion, can you do a recipe on Massaman Beef Curry?
Holy crepe I need to lie down. I had mine with jasmine rice. Excellent for soaking up all of the amazing juice.
I love it when you said ‘Almost gonna die hot’. I hope you can try and make your version of Filipino Adobo. :) Looking forward to see it on your channel. 😁
There should be a chicken and pork one already. I’ve tried it and it’s usually my go-to version with some extras I add
I'm imagining the taste right now coz since yesterday I am craving of curry menu 😋😋😋
This is Has jumped to the top of my list of things to cook next. That said I really don’t want to be as hot as you appeared to make it. I have dried red Italian long hot peppers that I think I will substitute for about 2/3 of the Thai bird chiles. I will also toss in a few Grouper cheeks. I think it will be amazing thanks to you.
Will definitely try this version. Thanks Marion for this lovely recipe!
My pleasure 😊
This looks absolutely delicious. Imma try it too
Me toooo, it's so yummy 🤤
I love all curry too🤗...love all your recipes💕
