Sour curry, or Gaeng Som, is a vibrant, water-based Thai curry known for its bold sourness and clean, sharp heat. Unlike richer coconut-based curries, this broth-like dish gets its zesty kick from tamarind and its fiery edge from fresh red chillies. Bursting with traditional herbs and spices such as turmeric, garlic, and chilli, it delivers a bright, citrusy profile with an earthy undertone. The sourness cuts through with every spoonful, making it refreshingly bold and perfect for pairing with fish or vegetables. A must-try for fans of hot, tangy, and intensely flavourful Thai cuisine. Heat profile is 5 /5 - Very Hot! Show more
