Tam Khanun
Tam Khanun
Tam Khanun is a traditional Thai dish made with young jackfruit. It is typically cooked with aromatic herbs and spices like galangal, garlic, and lemongrass, which give it a flavorful and fragrant taste. The jackfruit is usually simmered in coconut milk until it becomes tender and absorbs all the delicious flavors. Tam Khanun is often served with rice.
Ingredients
- 2 cups young jackfruit (canned or fresh)
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 3-4 shallots thinly sliced
- 4-5 cloves garlic minced
- 2 stalks lemongrass bruised
- 1 thumb-sized galangal sliced
- 2-3 kaffir lime leaves torn
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional, for added flavor)
- Salt to taste
- Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Rinse the young jackfruit and cut it into bite-sized pieces. If using canned jackfruit, make sure to drain and rinse it well.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced shallots to the pan. Sauté until fragrant and golden brown.
- Add the galangal, lemongrass, and torn kaffir lime leaves to the pan. Stir-fry for another minute to release their flavors.
- Add the jackfruit to the pan and stir well to coat it with the aromatic mixture.
- Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 30-40 minutes, or until the jackfruit becomes tender and absorbs the flavors.
- If desired, add soy sauce and salt to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
- Once the jackfruit is tender and the flavors have melded together, remove the pan from heat.
- Serve Tam Khanun hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro. It goes well with steamed rice or as a side dish to complement other Thai dishes.
