More about our Haw Mok (NE Thai style curry)
Haw mok, also known as Hor Mok or Thai fish custard, is a traditional Thai dish that originates from Northern Thailand. We make a vegan version of the dish at Chakra and can even make and our version without using salt, oil and sugar. Traditionally this savory and creamy dish is made from a mixture of fish, curry paste, coconut milk, and various aromatics, steamed in banana leaves or small dishes to create a smooth and delicate custard-like texture. The origins of haw mok can be traced back to the Lanna kingdom in Northern Thailand, where it was first created as a way to utilize leftover fish from a previous meal. Over time, the dish evolved to incorporate a variety of ingredients and flavors, becoming a popular staple in Thai cuisine. The preparation of haw mok involves several steps to achieve the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
