I've been diving through them and still cannot decide. *le sigh* I don’t suppose you have a good suggestion for an informative and complete thai / curry cookbook do you?

Same with SriLankan cuisine. It is history that Bhuddism was deeply rooted in both these places. Same as Thailand,Cambodia etc. So there is a link. Traditional Kerala cuisne is completely different from other Indian cuisine though we are the South most tip of India. Check out the Kerala map if you are interested. Traditional Kerala cuisine is forumalted withAyurvedic concepts and is very lightly spiced (unlike you find in other cuisine) and red chili is not used as much for many traditional dishes. Also, we use coconut products a lot same like Thai,Cambodia,Sri Lankan cuisine. If you think you knew about Indian cuisine, wait until you get acquinted with Kerala cuisine. It is a whole new World :-) Hi Barabara,

There's also a certain amount of flavor overlap between Thai, Indonesian, and Malaysian, but the latter two are less familiar in the U.S. (so far). Out of curiosity, what do you think of curry blends sold by companies like World Merchants and Savory Spice Shop? Since they're fresh and come with complete ingredient lists, I've generally found them to be pretty acceptable substitutes for homemade, and not at all like "yellow curry powder" from the grocery store that contains "onion, garlic, spices." When I use them I do tend to add other spices anyway to suit my mood, though.... IIRC, Laotian food has more obvious Indian influence than Thai, but it’s been a long time since I had it.
