Thai Hang Lay Curry with Aubergine Salad and Chilli Relish

Traditionally made with pork belly, it’s also known as Burmese curry due to the addition of Burmese curry powder. It’s tangy from the use of tamarind, with pickled garlic, ginger and peanuts added in at the end for both flavour and texture. On the side there’s a zingy aubergine salad, a simple vegetable stir fry and a fiery chilli and tomato relish.
