แกงไตปลาปลาดุกย่างโบราณ
Southern Thai Ancient Fermented Fish Innards Curry with Grilled Catfish
(gaaeng dtai bplaa bplaa dook yaang)
This dense curry made of fermented fish innards is dark coffee-brown in color – a salty, fiery hot dish, it grips the palate in an intense umami embrace.
As the flagship dish in the repertoire of spicy southern Thai cuisine, it comes in different versions: some are water based; some have a base of coconut cream. But whatever the style, it is a fiercely hot dish that features both dried and fresh chilies.
