00:00There's nothing better than a creamy bowl of hot soup.

00:03And lately I've been fascinated with this Thai soup called Tom Kha.

00:07So let's see the recipe.

00:09The first ingredient that I'm going to introduce is Galangal.

00:12So I have here a piece of Galangal, which is also from the root family.

00:17Nowadays it's easily available at the vegetable vendors, you can buy that.

00:21Clean it, it's whitish in colour and then chop it.

00:25So after cleaning and chopping, this is how it looks.

00:29I have 2 stalks of Lemongrass here.

00:32Peel it nicely.

00:34And now I'm just going to lightly bruise it.

00:39This helps in releasing all the flavours and oils of Lemongrass.

00:43Around 5-6 cloves of Garlic.

00:46We're just going to mash it slightly.

00:51And here I have about 7-8 Kaffir Lime Leaves.

00:56And we need to bruise these as well.

00:59For it to release its oils and flavours.

01:02I have a few Thai Chillies over here or Bird's Eye Chillies.

01:06You also get the smaller kinds, you can take those.

01:09These are extremely spicy.

01:11So those who only can handle that much heat should use these.

01:16But to reduce the heat, I'm just going to also remove the seeds.

01:22Otherwise it's going to get very very spicy.

01:25The aromatics are ready.

01:27And I have here 2 cups of water that I've kept to boil.

01:30And now I'm going to boil all these ingredients in this water.

01:35So Lemongrass, Kaffir Lime Leaves, Garlic Cloves, Ginger, Galangal Pieces.

01:43Boil these ingredients for at least 10 minutes.

01:45While this is boiling, let's stir fry a few vegetables for the soup.

01:50So in a pan, heat a tbsp of Coconut Oil.

01:53Next, 1 Onion shredded.

01:57You do not need to cook the vegetables for very long.

01:59Half a Capsicum, cut lengthwise.

02:02Few Broccoli Florets.

02:04Few Cherry Tomatoes, halved.

02:065-6 Mushrooms, sliced.

02:09Saute all these ingredients.

02:13Stir fry them for 2 minutes.

02:15A tsp of Light Soy Sauce or just a few drops of Dark Soy Sauce.

02:21I don't want to ruin the colour of the soup.

02:23So make sure you don't add too much Soy Sauce.

02:26Next, the water has reduced to half.

02:29Let's add that.

02:30So all the flavours of the aromatics is in that water.

02:35The only thing that you want to add from these aromatics back into the soup is the Lemongrass.

02:42Add in the Kaffir Lime Leaves.

02:44The Chillies.

02:45Give all these ingredients a good mix.

02:48I prefer adding Coconut Cream instead of adding Coconut Milk into the soup.

02:52It gives a very nice texture and a very rich flavour.

02:56So in this goes in 400 gms of Coconut Cream.

03:00There are chances that if you add Coconut Milk, sometimes if you over boil it, it tends to curdle.

03:06So that's why I prefer adding Coconut Cream.

03:09Let's add in Salt to taste.

03:15Bring this to a boil.

03:18The soup is ready.

03:20And now to give it that extra punch, I'm going to make a Chilli Oil.

03:24So in a pan, just add in around 1.5 tbsp of Coconut Oil.

03:29Once the oil is hot, turn off the flame.

03:31Cool the oil down slightly and add in a tsp of Chilli Flakes.

03:36Let's plate this soup.

03:39Just before serving, remove the Lemongrass pieces from the soup.

03:45And now, pour in some Chilli Oil.

03:48This soup is ready.

03:50You just need to remember a few things.

03:52One, you can even add some Silken Tofu into this soup if you like.

03:56Also, make sure that you do not eat the Kaffir Lime Leaves and the Lemongrass stalk.

04:01Do give this recipe a try, it's really delicious.

04:04And let me know how it turned out.

04:06And I'm going to go and dig in.

04:08I'll see you soon, bye-bye.
