Southern Thai dry chili curry with pork ribs (แกงคั่วพริก)
Southern Thai dry chili curry (แกงคั่วพริก)
My mother in-law is one of the best Thai cooks I know. She cooks a lot of Southern Thai dishes especially (because my wife’s family is originally from Southern Thailand), and this happens to be one of the Thai curries she cooks for me on a regular basis.
The name of this curry in Thai is gaeng khua prik (แกงคั่วพริก), and we’ll be making it with pork ribs (ซี่โครงหมู seekong moo), but you can make it with chicken or beef, or any meat you choose.
This Thai curry is known for being spicy, and it really makes amazing use of dry chilies, which not only provide some heat, but incredible chili fragrance. Some Thai curries, like green curry for example, use coconut milk. But this dry chili curry uses no coconut milk, so all the spices and chilies are powerfully flavorful.

Ingredients you’ll need to make this dish
Ingredient you’ll need for this recipe:
For the curry:
- 1 kg. pork ribs, or meat of choice (ซี่โครงหมู)
- 6 – 8 tbsp. curry paste – ingredients below (เครื่องแกงเผ็ด)
- 10 kaffir lime leaves (ใบมะกรูด)
- 2 – 4 cups of water (น้ำเปล่า) – start with 2 cups and add more as needed
- About 1 tsp. salt, or salt to taste (เกลือ)
For the curry paste:
- 50 grams Thai dry bird’s eye chilies – that’s about 1 big handful (พริกชี้ฟ้าแห้ง)
- 7 cloves garlic (กระเทียม)
- 3 shallots (หอมแดง)
- 1 coriander root (รากผักชี)
- 2 thumbs sized chunks of turmeric (ขมิ้น)
- 1 stalk lemongrass (ตะไคร้)
- 1 thumb sized chunk of old galangal (ข่า)
- 1 tbsp. black peppercorns (พริกไทยดำ)
- 1 tsp. cumin seeds (ยี่หร่า)
- 1 tsp. coriander seeds (ลูกผักชี)
- 1 tsp. salt (เกลือ)
- 1.5 tbsp shrimp paste (กะปิ)
NOTE: If you want to get straight to the recipe cooking instructions, you can scroll down to the recipe box below. But if you want a more in-depth explanation of this curry and more photos, keep reading.

Soak the dry chilies in water
Making the curry paste
Like with all Thai curries, the secret of making authentic Thai food is in the curry paste. This is where all the spices and herbs are pounded together to create magical tastes, and the paste is where just about all the flavor resides.
Since this is a Southern Thai dry chili curry, Thai dry bird’s eye chilies are a mandatory ingredient.
Soak the chilies in water for about 5 – 10 minutes. My mother in-law told me this will help with the pounding process, so they’ll break down easier.

First, prepare all your curry paste ingredients
For the cumin seeds and coriander seeds, in order to maximize their fragrance, stir fry them in a dry pan or wok for about 30 seconds. This is just going to toast them and bring out their fragrance.
Then basically just slice and dice up all the fresh herbs and curry paste recipe ingredients so they are small sized and easier to pound into a paste.

Pounding Thai curry paste by hand
Do I have to pound by hand?
I’ve probably said this quite a few times…
When you pound Thai curry paste by hand using a stone mortar and pestle, you will have the best tasting Thai curry ever. The reason is because it’s a slow process, and all the oils of the spices have time to fully be released and maximize their flavor potential.
That being said, pounding your curry paste by hand is time consuming (about 1 hour). So rather than buying curry paste in a can, the next best option would be to blend all the fresh ingredients in a blender or food processor, with a tiny bit of water to get them going. So if you have to do this, I understand!

Congratulations when you finish!
To pound the curry paste by hand, first add in a tsp. of salt, then pound all the ingredients, no specific order, just pound them all (everything apart from the shrimp paste which you’ll add at the very end).
It will take 45 minutes – 1.5 hours to pound your curry paste. One of the indicators that your curry paste is ready is that you should barely see any chili seeds left, they should nearly all be pounded out.
Once you think your curry paste is done, then add the shrimp paste, and mash and pound for another minute until it’s fully mixed in. Congratulations, your authentic Thai dry chili curry paste is ready.

Cutting the pork ribs
For the ribs
Again, we’ll be making this Thai curry recipe with pork ribs. But feel free to substitute chicken or beef or any other meat of your choice. My mother in-law often makes this recipe with free range chicken, which I love as well.
In Thailand, the ribs from the market usually are cut down the center and come in thin strands so that they can be cooked bite-sized. I’m not sure if you can get your butcher to cut them like this for you, but also whole bone ribs would work fine too. Then just cut your ribs into single bone bite sized pieces.

Dissolve the curry paste into water
For the curry
When you reach this stage, most of the hard work is done, and it’s very easy to cook this curry. Again, I can’t emphasize enough that the flavor of this dish and the work comes from the curry paste preparation.
To begin with, first add 2 – 3 cups of water to a medium pot. Then dissolve in about 6 or so tbsp. of the curry paste you just made, into the water (NOTE: If you’re worried about spice levels, you can reduce the amount of curry paste, and you can always come back to add more paste later).

Add the pork ribs and kaffir lime leaves and simmer
Bring the curry paste water mixture to a boil, and then toss in your pork ribs.
At that same time, get about 10 kaffir lime leaves, roughly tear them with your hand, and sprinkle them into the curry.
On a medium high heat, bring the curry to a boil, and then simmer it.
My mother in-law boiled this curry for about 1 hour, but she specified that it needed to mainly boil so long in order for the pork ribs to get nice and tender. So 1 hour is a good time-frame guide, but it’s really not a big deal how long you boil it as long as your meat is tender.

Add more water if it gets dry, and keep boiling
While you’re boiling the curry, if it get’s too dry and you still need to boil it longer, add some more water.
The main goal is when you’re done cooking this curry, you should have a nice thick curry consistency. But you can keep on adding water, and boiling it away.
Make sure you taste test and add salt as needed. But be careful with the salt, because remember that you’re already getting some saltiness from the curry paste. We added about an extra 1 tsp. of salt when we were making this recipe. Also, at this stage you can add more curry paste if your curry isn’t strong enough or spicy enough.

You want a nice thick curry and tender meat when you’re done
After about an hour of simmering, your Thai dry chili curry (gaeng khua prik seekong moo แกงคั่วพริกซี่โครงหมู) should look something like this. A nice thick curry sauce, and tender pieces of meat.

Thai dry chili pork ribs curry recipe (แกงคั่วพริกซี่โครงหมู)
And that’s it. The next step is to dish the dry chili ribs curry into a bowl, and eat it while it’s hot along with rice.
You’re about to experience a flavor explosion you’ll never forget!
Thai dry chili pork ribs curry recipe (วิธีทำ แกงคั่วพริกซี่โครงหมู)
Time: 2 – 3 hours, about an hour to pound the curry paste and an hour to boil the curry
Recipe size: 1 kg. of meat, serves 2 – 4
Cooking utensils: medium sized pot, for knives I use Kiwi knives

- 1 kg. pork ribs (ซี่โครงหมู), or chicken or any meat of choice
- 6 - 8 tbsp. curry paste - ingredients below (เครื่องแกงเผ็ด)
- 10 kaffir lime leaves (ใบมะกรูด)
- 2 - 4 cups of water (น้ำเปล่า) - begin with 2 cups, and you can add more as needed
- About 1 tsp. salt (เกลือ), salt to taste
- 50 grams Thai dry bird's eye chilies (พริกชี้ฟ้าแห้ง)
- 7 cloves garlic (กระเทียม)
- 3 shallots (หอมแดง)
- 1 coriander root (รากผักชี)
- 2 thumbs sized chunks of turmeric (ขมิ้น)
- 1 stalk lemongrass (ตะไคร้)
- 1 thumb sized chunk of old galangal (ข่า)
- 1 tbsp. black peppercorns (พริกไทยดำ)
- 1 tsp. cumin seeds (ยี่หร่า)
- 1 tsp. coriander seeds (ลูกผักชี)
- 1 tsp. salt (เกลือ)
- 1.5 tbsp shrimp paste (กะปิ)
- The first step is to prepare your ingredients for the curry paste. Put the dry chilies into a bowl of water for about 5 minutes to rehydrate them. Peel the garlic and shallots, remove the outer skin of the turmeric, and peel off the very outer layer of the lemongrass. Slice the garlic, shallots, coriander root, turmeric, lemongrass, and galangal into smaller pieces to make them easier to pound.
- For the cumin seed and coriander seeds, toast them in a hot dry frying pan for 30 seconds until fragrant. Set all the curry paste ingredients aside.
- Using a stone mortar and pestle, add 1 tsp. of salt, then apart from the shrimp paste, pound all the curry paste ingredients together. Pound for about 1 hour to get a smooth paste consistency.
- When you think your curry paste in done, add the shrimp paste at the very end, and mix and mash for a minute until it's fully mixed in.
- In a medium pot, boil about 2 cups of water and dissolve in 6 tbsp. of the fresh curry paste (Note: you can start with less curry paste if you'd like, and add more if needed).
- Cut the pork ribs into bite sized pieces, and add them to the curry.
- Take 10 kaffir lime leaves, tear them lightly with your hand, and add them to the curry.
- Slow boil for about 1 hour until the meat is very tender, stirring occasionally. You may need to add more water if your curry starts to get dry. Keep boiling and adding water as needed. The important thing is that when you're done cooking the curry, the water should mostly be evaporated leaving you a nice thick curry sauce consistency (you don't want watery).
- Taste test and add salt as needed. You can also add more curry paste if you want to bump up the spice and flavor.
- Once the pork ribs are tender and you have a nice curry sauce, turn off the heat, and you're done.
You'll want to dish it out into a bowl, and serve it hot with fresh steamed rice. If you loves spicy curry, this will be a dish you're going to love. Also, if you're worried about the spice, you can reduce the amount curry paste you use.
Enjoy this authentic Thai recipe by my mother in-law!

- Authentic Thai recipes!
Don’t get me wrong:
I love Thai curries with coconut milk.
However, I do think that coconut milk kind of mellows out spices and flavor (not a bad thing at all, just mentioning).
But with this Thai dry chili pork ribs curry (แกงคั่วพริกซี่โครงหมู) there’s nothing to mellow out the flavor of those dry chilies and spices, so you get the full on taste of all those curry paste ingredients combined with tender bites of pork ribs. It’s just a sensational Southern Thailand dish!

How to make authentic Thai dry chili pork ribs curry (แกงคั่วพริกซี่โครงหมู)
Conclusion
This Thai dry chili pork ribs curry recipe (วิธีทำ แกงคั่วพริกซี่โครงหมู) is a Southern Thai dish that my mother in-law loves to make; So today I’m happy to share this authentic Thai recipe with you.
All of the work is in the curry paste, so once you’re pounded the curry paste, all you need to do is boil it with pork ribs, or your meat of choice, and you’ll have a Southern Thai curry that will blow your mind with flavor!
Hope you enjoy this recipe, and I’d love to hear from you in the comments section below what you think.

Hey Mark, hope you and the family are going well.
I know this is an old video but my wife and I have been watching you for years and have a bucket list of your recipes so I just thought I’d try a comment. I have noticed in a couple of your recipes the curry paste is not fried off before cooking (cooking your green curry today – again). Is this a southern Thai thing or just different recipes call for different preparations?
Thanks!

So pretty sure Mark is busy in the US if YouTube is my news source, if anyone else was wondering the same thing it has kind of been asked and answered over on the page for the curry I was cooking this day!
Mark’s response was…
If we were making a stir fried curry, like for instance stink beans fried with shrimp: https://www.eatingthaifood.com/thai-stink-beans-recipe/ you would definitely stir fry the curry paste in oil for that kind of roasted flavor. But for a boiled curry like this, I think it’s normal to boil the curry paste in water or just straight coconut cream, so the curry doesn’t get too oily, and the flavor of the ingredients are still released from the boiling process. I’ll try to research and ask about this more though, and get back to you if I find anything. Thanks, it’s a great question!

This looks amazing and I’m going to cook this dish this weekend. Two questions: 1) how long can I store the curry paste if I make a large batch: 2) If I substitute with bone-in chicken, should I use less water since the chicken would cook faster than the pork?
Thanks!

Presentation is amazing!! The fact that you made a video to support the recipe and preparing it, brilliant and exciting. Very detailed, the background; not sure if it’s recorded in Thailand, but it makes the presentation look more authentic, and more exciting to watch. Last but not least, the original owner of the recipe; mother in law, cooking it. That was amazing and fun to watch. Thank you for sharing this video and recipe, I cant wait to try it out, It looks good. From the video to the cooking, breaking down the recipe in steps, very informational and very well presented. Keep up the goid work.

The video (the cooked dish part) shows a divinely prepared/cooked dish. It really IS worth the pain (sitting in that position, numbing hands and all), literally pounding all that stuff. I much rather use a blender at a slower speed so that “… all the oils of the spices have time to fully be released and maximize their flavor potential.”, even if it takes more time than the usual time used in blending (at least 20 min in a blender and NOT 60 min.). I trust that 20 min. of slow blending will still maximise the flavour of the spices.

Hi Mark – I made this recipe over the weekend and was wondering if the 50-gram measurement for dry chili is correct… as that comes up to be 2 big handful for me using dry chilis bought in Malaysia (which I assumed would be fairly similar to Thai chili). The curry turned out… super spicy… as I thought my heat tolerance is pretty above average. My curry also turned out substantially more red than your picture.

Mark, I like many of your readers and followers do not live in that area of the world. I was hoping you might provide alternative ingredients available in some of the asian markets in America. I go to a market about 45 minutes away in Freehold , NJ which caters to primarily the Chinese population. Most of the ingredents comes from China,, some from Thiland. I know fresh lime and curry leaves are not available which is in both this recipe and the other one I would like to try, Fish head curry. Love the videos. Hope you may provide in the future a recipe book on some of the amazing dishes you have tried in various destinations. Just to let you know I am familiar with the NY style pizza here in NJ and when I was a child went to that pastrami and cornded beef place Katzs Deli in the lower east side..

A lot of the ingredients can be difficult to find locally, but we did order the lime leaves on line. Although I was doubtful, they were very good. Not quite as good as fresh from the tree, but they definitely had the big citrusy taste.

Just made this recipe. Our apartment smells so good. Had to use the food processor because my mortar and pestle wasn’t large enough and subbed the shrimp paste for 2 teaspoons of fish sauce because I have a shrimp allergy. So excited to eat this and for the awesome recipes I can make with the leftover curry paste!!! Thanks for making authentic Thai recipes accessible Mark! Blessings.

Hi Mark
Thanks very much for the recipe i loved it. It is the kind of Thai food that we dont find in English Thai restaurants. A bit on the fiery side for many i guess. I made it with ribs the first time and thought they went superbly. Im now using the remainder of the paste making it with chicken drumsticks which im salivating over right now. Keep up the great work and i look forward to trying further recipes.

First time I had this was when a colleague brought it in to the office for lunch, along with kua kling. Living in Khon Kaen, you have to hunt a bit for southern food, although it’s a bit easier to find when you know about it. I had him write the names in Thai and showed them to my Udorn Thani wife (who is an excellent cook). She said, “No problem. I can make that.” And she did. Very well, too. So, that become one of my mainstays.

OK. I know I already commented on your vlog (and thank you for hearting my comment). But, yes. After I watched the vlog several times, looking at the recipe, and taking inventory of my pantry, I knew I immediately had to make this dish today! I have not even sat down to eat my dinner yet, but I can tell you that this recipe is outstanding!! I’ve been picking at it all afternoon. I chuckle when I think of your mother-in-law tasting and touching her throat. I totally get it as I did the same thing. But the longer it cooks, the spiciness just mellows a bit. SOOOO delicious. Just a couple of things, though. Unfortunately, I have not yet located coriander root, so I substituted cilantro stems mashed in with the other ingredients. As well, I could not afford spareribs (I live in the US) so I bought what was on sale, namely, pork loin chops cut very thin with bone in and cooked the Dickens out of them. Jasmine rice and HELLO… we are good to go! Mark, all I can say is, THANK YOU!! and thanks to your talented mother-in-law for being so accommodating in sharing her recipes. I have knowledge that Thai people can be shy and very humble and it shows through the camera lens. Very endearing. Keep up the good work, Mark. I think I can speak for others when I say, “You make my day.” Looking forward to seeing the next episode on Wednesday! Kind regards to you, Ming, Micah and family!

Hey Patricia, great to hear from you here too. That is awesome that you already made this curry, glad it turned out so well. You’re right, the chilies are spicy, but they do mellow out and blend together well with the meat and all the other ingredients, so it’s spicy, but not a sharp fiery spicy – it’s kind of a building spicy. Thank you for sharing your substitutions as well… I with it wasn’t so hard to get the cilantro roots. Thanks again, hope you’re doing well!

How wonderful to see ribs cooked in such an authentic way . Wow !! I could almost smell those luscious spicy aromas filtering through my computer, and how envious I was that I was not there to share the experience. Thank you Mark

An amazingly delicious looking recipe. I’ll be trying it out soon, but must confess I will have to use the Good Boy canned Curry Chili Paste. Thai ingredients really limited here.
