Gaeng Som Pla Gapohng Daeng (Southern Thai Red Snapper and Green Papaya Sour Curry)

For this recipe, we use a paste made from dried and fresh chiles, turmeric, shallots, garlic, and fermented shrimp paste, which we boil in water or stock and then season with fish sauce and tamarind, to add a subdued sourness. We then use this flavorful liquid to simmer pieces of green papaya and red snapper (pla gra), which take on a beautiful yellow hue from the turmeric. Right before serving, we add some freshly squeezed lime juice for a fresh and bright note of acidity. Get the recipe
