jungle curry

Brothy Thai dish

Jungle curry is a Thai curry made without coconut milk, resulting in a thinner, more brothy consistency than other Thai curries.

The name suggests its origins in forested regions where coconuts weren't readily available.

It's typically fiery hot, loaded with fresh vegetables, herbs, and meat: The jungle curry was spicier than anything else on the menu.
