Thai Coconut Soup/ Tom ka Ghai

Tom ka ghai is asimple thai soup made with coconut milk and authentic thai spices. It usually has chicken, pork or seafood. Here is my creation of this as a vegetarian one. The kaffir lime leaves, lemon grass and galangal gives such an amazing flavor for this wonderful soup.

 Get Ready
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup chopped carrots, mushroom, corn, beans
  • 1 stalk of lemon grass, thin stem, crushed and cut into 2"
  • 1 " galangal sliced
  • 3-4 Kaffir lime leaves/ aka narthanaga ilai
  • 1/3 cup chopped spring onions ( green part)
  • 1/3 cup cubed Tofu
  • 3-4 green chilli slit
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tsp Soy sauce
  • cilantro 1 tbsp
 Go
  • In a pan add the water,coconut milk, lemon grass, galangal, green chillies, kaffir leaves and let it come to a boil.
  • let it cook for 2-3 mins.
  • Add all the vegetables,tofu, salt to taste and cook till the vegetables are soft ,but crunchy.
  • Add the spring onions, soy sauce.
  • let it cook for 1 minute.
  • garnish with cilantro.

Serve hot and it's one of the most addictive soups you've ever had.
