THAI CUISINE


Cuisine  is a specific set of cooking traditions and practices, often associated with a specific culture. A cuisine is primarily influenced by the ingredients that are available locally or through trade.
Thai food - as exotic as it is - needs no introduction and  is internationally famous.The juxtaposition of sweet, sour, hot and salty flavours is what makes Thai cuisine so distinct. 
Whether chilli-hot or comparatively blands, harmony is the guiding principle behind each dish. Thai cuisine is essentially a marriage of centuries-old Eastern and Western influences harmoniously combined into something uniquely Thai. 

Originally, Thai cooking reflected the characteristics of a waterborne lifestyle.Aquatic animals, plants and herbs were major ingredients.With their Buddhist background, Thais shunned the use of large animals in big chunks. Big cuts of meat were shredded and laced with herbs and spices. Traditional Thai cooking methods were stewing and baking, or grilling.
The ideal Thai meal is a harmonious blend of the spicy, the subtle, the sweet and sour, and is meant to be equally satisfying to eye, nose and palate. A typical meal might include a clear soup (perhaps bitter melons stuffed with minced pork), a steamed dish (mussels in curry sauce), a fried dish (fish with ginger), a hot salad (beef slices on a bed of lettuce, onions, chillies, mint and lemon juice) and a variety of sauces into which food is dipped. This would be followed by sweet desserts or fresh fruits such as mangoes, durian, jackfruit, papaya, grapes or melon





Thai Meal Comprises--

Titbits-
 These can be hors d'oeuvres, accompaniments, side dishes, and/or snacks. They include spring rolls, satay, puffed rice cakes with herbed topping. They represent the playful and creative nature of the Thais.







Salads-
 A harmony of tastes and herbal flavours are essential. Major tastes are sour, sweet and salty. Spiciness comes in different degrees according to meat textures and occasions.




  Dips-Dips entail some              complexity. They can be the major  dish of a meal with  accompaniments of vegetables and some meats. When dips are made  thinly, they can be used as salad designs. A particular and simple dip  is made from chilies, garlic, dried shrimps, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar  and shrimp paste.








Soups-

A good meal for an average person may consist simply of a soup and rice. 
Traditional Thai soups are unique because they embody more flavours and textures than can be found in other types of food.
                                                                                                               


 Curries-Most non-Thai curries consist of powdered or ground dried  spices, whereas the major ingredients of Thai curry are fresh herbs. A  simple Thai curry paste consists of dried chilies, shallots and shrimp  paste. More complex curries include garlic, galangal, coriander roots,  lemon grass, kefir lime peel and peppercorns.








 Single Dishes     -Complete meals in themselves , they include rice and noodle dishes such as Khao Phat and Phat Thai.



 Desserts-
 No good meal is complete without a Thai dessert. Uniformly sweet,  they are particularly welcome after a strongly spiced and herbed meal.






As an acknowledged expert of Thai cuisine, David Thompson, explains Thai food (from a Western perspective): "Thai food ain't about simplicity. It's about the juggling of disparate elements to create a harmonious finish. Like a complex musical chord it's got to have a smooth surface but it doesn't matter what's happening underneath. Simplicity isn't the dictum here, at all. Some westerners think it's a jumble of flavours, but to a Thai that's important, it's the complexity they delight in."

Wayanad is the green paradise - the border world of the greener part of Kerala.Situated not far from Calicut or the city of  Zamorins, Wayanad is a world apart from Kerala's agricultural and industrial epicentres. It is a quiet place where scenic beauty, wild life and tradition matter, simplicity is a virtue and beauty still blossoms from the mountainous horizon and from the green glaze of alluring vegetation. Clean and pristine, enchanting and hypnotizing, this land has a history and mystery, culture and social epistemology yet to be discovered. Located at a distance about 76 km from the sea shores of Calicut in the Western Ghats, this station is full of plantations, forests and wildlife. Wayanad hills are contiguous to Mudumalai in Tamil Nadu and Bandhipur in Karnataka, thus forming a vast land mass for the wild life to move about in its most natural abode. Wayanad has been listed as one of the world's heritage sites by the UNESCO recently. 

Wayanad is known for its rich tribal heritage,agricultural prosperity,lush green virgin forests,natural sources of water and hill ranges besides its legendary tales of valor and courage .It has abundant natural resources that include exotic species of plants and wild animals. Wayanad is a delight and a must-see destination for every tourist and visitor to Gods own country.The least populous of Kerala’s districts, Wayanad is relatively backward and development has not appreciably improved the lives of the tribes who comprise a sizable section of the population. 

These geographical, cultural, traditional and biological features and diversities of Wayanad has made it one of the most opted tourist spots in Kerala. And it defines well our answer to start a eco friendly resort in Wayanad- Silver Woods.
