    Curry Powder-Pong Kari

    By admin | November 29, 2009

    The Curry Powder, Pong Kari (Pong Gari), is an essential ingredient in a few Thai Curries. Pong Kari is available commercially and whilst there are many different brands of this curry powder to choose from it’s much better to make your own. Pong Kari is an Indian style curry powder that is spicy rather than hot. Perhaps the most famous dish using Pong Kari is the Thai Crab Curry, Poo Phat Pong Kari. In an airtight container, Pong Kari can be stored for up to 1 year.
