Hazırlanışı
Adım adım
- 1
Prepare the curry paste by combining the soaked dried red chili, shallot, garlic, galangal, lemongrass, turmeric, shrimp paste, and salt in a mortar and pestle. Pound until a fine paste forms, or blend in a small food processor with a splash of water if needed.
Yaklaşık 10 dk.
Aşçının notu: Ensure the chilies are well-drained after soaking to avoid a watery paste.

Bring water to a boil in a large pot or saucepan.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.

Add the prepared curry paste to the boiling water and stir well to dissolve.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
- 4
Season the broth with fish sauce, palm sugar, and tamarind paste. Stir until the palm sugar is fully dissolved.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
Aşçının notu: Taste and adjust the seasonings to your preference – it should be a balance of sour, spicy, sweet, and salty.
- 5
Add the green papaya to the simmering broth and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until it starts to soften slightly.
Yaklaşık 7 dk.
Aşçının notu: Green papaya takes longer to cook than the other vegetables, so add it first.

Gently add the snakehead fish pieces to the pot. Do not stir immediately to prevent the fish from breaking apart.
Aşçının notu: Adding the fish carefully helps maintain its shape.

Add the long beans and continue to simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Yaklaşık 7 dk.
Aşçının notu: Avoid overcooking the fish, as it can become tough.

Taste again and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice.
