Having overrun by the ugliest of flu's' in the past two days, I was sick and tired of taking the strongest dosage of medicines and even more disgusted with the pungency of their after-taste on my palate.
Well,what next, I was determined to shoo away this flu as soon as possible, and this brought me to the idea of trying the famous idea of 'Chicken Soup for the Cold' -- so, here I bring the recipe of the Soup that I've become most affectionate to from now on, as it wonderfully pulled me out of the cold and fever, doing wonders to add to my physical strength..!!
After having a lovely Clear Soup made by my dear friend for lunch, I ended up the with the idea of making the popular Thai Soup, Tom Kha for dinner..
My reaction after dinner...??
"Aroi Mak Mak!" (That’s Thai for “Deeeeelicious!”) ^-^
Well, Peeps the recipe is 'Borrowed from the Internet' but follow it religiously without your expert additions or subtractions and you'll end up making the loveliest of TOM KHA..
Ingredients
1 /2 tablespoon oil
1½ tablespoon Thai red curry paste
3 cups chicken stock
3 cups coconut milk
1 large lemongrass stalk,washed and cut
Sliced fresh galangal or ginger
Chilies
Fresh lime juice
Boneless Chicken breast,cleaned and cubed
Mushrooms
Fresh basil leaves
How to make-
Warm the oil in a pot. Sauté the mushrooms and take them out. Add the curry paste, stirring until fragrant. Add the chicken stock, coconut milk, lemongrass, ginger, chilies, lime juice, and bring it to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken strips and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the mushrooms and the basil and simmer for another 5 minutes. Add salt to taste. Garnish with fresh basil leaves or cilantro.
PS- Gives you the strongest appetite after a taxing fever and cold, so safer to have something ready for the main course after this .. and.. Makes you fall in love with itself, so many more upcoming visits to the nearest Thai Restaurants to enjoy it in its most authentic form shall become your agenda ..
