What do you thicken it with?

One of the easiest things to make.  Simply use S&B Golden Curry blocks, thickener is in it, along with all the seasonings.  One of the few things I don't make from scratch.

 

I do add a bit of Cayenne pepper, to kick it up a bit.  Omit the pototoes also, being on 'low carb' diet.  Only calls for carrots, onions, potatoes, water and what ever protein you want to use.

Oh, I used the same brand and sometimes Vermont, but I thought it was full of starch even without the potatoes.

It's a cube only 92gr (?) so not sure how much of it is starch, obviously some, since a thickener.  Remember reading the ingredients, after going stricter Keto diet, and realizing, better not make it too often. 

 

If I didn't have a bunch in the freezer, it probably would not eat it.  Once a month won't kill me, but, I could do without these 3 ... 

 

 

The 'cube' is about 1/10 of a batch (~1 kg of protein, veggies water), so maybe 30 gr per serving, so basically about as bad as a slice of crappy made white bread

My Thai wife will often go to Youtube and find a recipe I like, like a meatloaf my mom made. Or a Thai dish (rice, pork and chilies) that I pimp up (like top it off with a gooey egg). Im in the USA right now, I cant wait to get home to eat her.

You can't wait to eat the wife, the wife's cooking or your mom's meatloaf? 

 

I make a pretty mean meatloaf with ground pork. I could go for a cold meatloaf sandwich right along about now....

S & B Curry? Available most everywhere, I think.

Local Makro carries it, and not exactly a tourist or expat community.  So most other urban areas should carry.   Also online, though you may want to get a small amount to test.

 

I bought 2 larger packs off, one whole one still in the freezer.  We good for one a month, so 1 box will last about 1 year (10 cubes, I think).

 

Thais have there own curries, and wouldn't expect them to be a big purchaser of.  Though saying that, I'm surprised how often I do see it available in restaurants.

Took my time yesterday in the nice cool weather to cook up a pot of rustic pork stew.  Managed to turn the first photo into the second over the course of a cool afternoon. A loaf of crusty sourdough and the meal was complete.

That looks pretty good. 

 

I like the (granite?) counter-top as well.

Great dish.

Filling and well-balanced in nutrition(with plenty of vegetables) as well.

Please allow me one question.

Are the potatoes unpeeled?
