There are many Thai restaurants in Sydney, who proclaim to serve only Authentic Thai Food. But having lived in Thailand for 10 years, I am puzzled to define what actually authentic Thai food is?

However, some Thai dishes such as Green Papaya Salad with Prawns can be made with just a papaya shredder and a sturdy mortar and pestle.

As a rule red fresh fruit are two or three times hotter than green fruit, and dried pods are up to ten times hotter than fresh pods.
