Once in a while, we all crave delicious Thai salads, soups, stir-fries, wok noodles, curries and char-grills. Ingredients sourced from Thailand, with the right cooking techniques, result in flavourful Thai food which is aromatic and well-spiced. From Larb to Som Tam and Phad Thai to Pla Nueng Ma Nao, if one heads to the right places, one can savour the real flavours of Thailand in Mumbai. My top 5 recommendations:
