And since I am a big fan of Hill Tribe jewelry, I thought I'd share a recipe for Hill Tribe Curry.  Please be aware, it is much different that standard Thai Curries.  I gave it a try at Pam's Real Thai Restaurant in Hell's Kitchen, NYC.  Kaeng Pa - Jungle * a popular hill tribe spicy watery curry with bamboo shoot, mushroom, red pepper, long bean, basil and galingale. It contains no coconut milk, as coconuts are not naturally found in the jungles of the Thai highlands.
