In southern Thailand there are a lot of amazing dishes and a lot of loved dishes as well, but nothing is as loved by locals in the south as a dish called khanom jeen nam ya (ขนมจีนน้ำยา), which is a minced fish curry, cooked in coconut milk, and filled with spices. I can still remember my first taste of khanom jeen nam ya (ขนมจีนน้ำยา), I remember how creamy and rich the curry was, with the most amazing spice mixture, spicy, fragrant, and teeming with lemongrass, and buttery coconut milk.
Although I’ve tried khanom jeen nam ya (ขนมจีนน้ำยา) around parts of southern Thailand at both restaurants are street food stalls, I still think my mother in law makes the best version I’ve ever had, and so I’m pretty excited to share this recipe with you today - it’s her own recipe (although she doesn’t really use recipes as well, she just guesstimates all ingredients, but I tested out and wrote down her estimates, which should hopefully be pretty accurate). So this is a distinctively south Thai dish, and I know you’re going to love it. If you can get some fresh coconut milk, it will be better, but if not, I think one of the best coconut milks is AROY-D brand, and the one that comes in a box, instead of the can.
Ok, here are the ingredients you’ll need for this Thai fish curry recipe:
800 grams of barracuda fish - this is a common fish to use in this recipe
Around 800 ml coconut cream (หัวกะทิ hua kati)
Around 1500 ml coconut milk (หางกะทิ han kati) - alternatively you can use about 2 litres of canned or boxed coconut milk with a little water
2 tbsp salt (เกลือ)
20 kaffir lime leaves (ใบมะกรูด)
all of the curry paste which we’ll make below
For the curry paste:
pinch of salt (เกลือ)
4 stalks lemongrass (ตะไคร้)
2 fingers turmeric, about 40 grams (ขมิ้น)
20 grams Thai dry chilies (it was about 100 chilies) พริกแห้ง
1 head garlic (กระเทียม)
1 tsp black peppercorns (พริกไทย)
1 tbsp shrimp paste (กะปิ)
Eat with the curry with:
Fresh rice noodles, known as khanom jeen in Thai (เส้นขนมจีน), and I also really like to eat this Thai curry with rice.
Also eat the curry with any type of raw vegetables like cucumbers, lemon basil, Thai sweet basil, green beans, Chinese long beans, bean sprouts - any kind of fresh raw vegetables or herbs.
Once you have all the ingredients ready, this Thai khanom jeen nam ya (ขนมจีนน้ำยา) coconut milk curry recipes is not hard to make, and it doesn't take all that much time to cook either. The first step is to take the fish (make sure it’s already cleaned and gutted), cut it into pieces, and boil it in water on medium heat. Once the fish is ready, drain, and allow to cool. Then peel off the skin and discard, and debone all the meat, and kind of flake it with your fingers until you have minced pork. The next step is to make your curry paste by grinding all the Thai curry paste ingredients until you have a nice paste - it doesn’t need to be too fine, but you shouldn’t have any big chunks of anything. Finally, you need to assemble the curry by adding all the coconut milk to a pot, and then add in the curry paste, followed by the minced deboned fish. Keep the heat on medium, and stirring slowly and constantly, stir in just a single direction. Season with salt and also toss in the kaffir lime leaves. Boil while stirring gently for about 5 minutes, and you're ready to eat.

Thai Fish Grilled in a Banana Leaf Recipe (วิธีทำ แอ๊บปลานิล)
Full recipe ►
Instagram ►
When I first visited northern Thailand one of the first dishes I noticed while walking around a local market was a little package, wrapped in a banana leaf, being grilled over hot charcoal. I’m always curious about any kind of food, but things that are wrapped in packages of leaves… I’m enthralled and I have to stop everything I’m doing and buy one to see what it is. In this case, the lady at the market said it was called aeb (แอ๊บ), and she had a number of versions, once with catfish, one with tilapia, one with small fish, and another with minced pork. The version with tilapia fish, aeb pla nin (แอ๊บปลานิล) was what I settled for.
I tore open my banana leaf wrapped little packet, and immediately a burst of aromatic herbs and spices came pouring out; It smelled incredible. I devoured the entire packet in a couple bites. Ever since that trip to northern Thailand, one of my favorite foods to eat are these little packets of fish or meat mixed with curry paste, wrapped in banana leaves, and grilled over charcoal. The biggest problem is, although this is a common Thai street food recipe and dish to find in northern Thailand, this exact dish is rare to find in other parts of Thailand - and that includes Bangkok - they are rarely available (yes, there are other variations of dishes cooked in banana leaves in other parts of Thailand, but not this exact one).
Alright, so for this Thai fish grilled in a banana leaf recipe, here are the ingredients you’ll need:
2 tilapia fish (pla nin ปลานิล) - I deboned them myself, and I had about 600 grams of deboned fish meat - so you could also use fillets
Banana leaves for cooking (bai tong ใบตอง, substitute foil if you need to)
Toothpicks used to fasten the leaves together (fastening stick ไม้กลัด)
Here are the ingredients for the curry paste:
2 lemongrass stalks (takrai ตะไคร้)
1 head of garlic (kratiem กระเทียม)
5 Thai shallots (hom daeng หอมแดง)
10 - 20 dry Thai chilies (prik haeng พริกแห้ง)
3 - 5 fresh Thai bird chilies (prik kee noo พริกขี้หนู)
½ kaffir lime peel (pew makrut ผิวมะกรูด) - from a kaffir lime
½ finger of fresh turmeric (kamin ขมิ้น) - In this video I used a whole finger, but I think it was too much, so better to use about ½ or so. Turmeric is sometimes used in Thai aeb recipes and other times it’s not, but I love it!
1/2 tsp salt (kleua เกลือ)
Ingredients to mix with the fish:
All the fish
1.5 tsp salt (kleua เกลือ)
All the curry paste
Some more additions to add to eat banana leaf package:
kaffir lime leaves (bai makrut ใบมะกรูด)
sweet basil leaves (bai horapa ใบโหระพา)
lemon basil leaves (bai mengrak ใบแมงลัก)
Be sure to watch the full video and read more on my blog about the full direction about how to make this Thai recipe, but overall, all you have to do is cut the fish into bite sized pieces, pound the curry paste until you have a coarse paste, combine the pieces of fish, curry paste, and salt, then wrap them into little packages of banana leaves, and finally grill them or roast them until fully cook. One of the reasons aeb pla nin (แอ๊บปลานิล), or any kind of aeb, is so delicious is because it’s wrapped in banana leaves which keep the fish moist and mingle all the flavors, and yet it’s grilled so it also has the smoky grilled flavor - it’s like baking and grilling all at the same time. After you cook this aeb pla nin (แอ๊บปลานิล) and open up the package of banana leaves, and smell the aroma of all the herbs, you’ll be in love!
