Herbs and spices used in Thai cooking give unique characteristics to each dish in terms of odour and taste.
They contain phyto-nutrients as well as medicinal properties. Take Tom Yum Prawns for example. The lemon grass in this spicy soup not only serves as a flavouring agent and helps balance the flavour, but also acts as a calmative, in addition to containing calcium.
It requires an appropriate proportion to use herbs in Thai cooking. Too much of herbs will yield a medicinal flavour to the dish instead of an aromatic taste.
An excess amount of any of the herbs such as galanga or lemon grass will make the curry become unpalatable.
