PONTI THAI CURRY PENNE PASTA RECIPE with CRAB
Thai Cuisine is known for its balance of five fundamental flavors in each dish or the overall meal - hot (spicy), sour, sweet, salty and bitter (optional).
Thai food can be broken down into four regional cuisines corresponding to the four main regions of the country: Northern, Northeastern (or Isan), Central and Southern. Southern curries, tend to contain coconut milk and fresh turmeric, while northeastern dishes often include lime juice.
Thai cuisine has been greatly influenced by the cuisine of its neighboring and nearby countries, especially India, China, Malaysia, and Laos.
