Guaranteed to be the crowd favorite at cook-out.

Thai food should have a strong sense of four flavors, Salt, Hot peppers, sweet and Limes. This comes close but emits lime. We had a Thai exchange student for 11 months.

My Thai wife trumps your Thai exchange student

Lol, just because she's Thai doesn't mean she can cook Thai food well. My Thai wife came to the US as a child and can cook some Thai dishes well, but I can cook some of them better. Her scones this morning were delicious though!

Your recipe sounds very good and we are going to try it. There are regional differences in Thai cuisine much like anywhere else. I have to say that I don't usually see acid(limes) added to coconut milk dishes like curry, but it is common in other dishes. So this dish looks legit to me, for what that's worth. Who cares as long as it tastes good :)

Great... Let me know how it turns out.
I lucked out because she is a very good cook, she worked in her aunts Thai restruants while getting her degree and her Aunt is painfully traditional.
Our toddler likes it so much he goes savage with an ear in each hand and doesn't want to give up the cob even after he has all the corn cleaned off. :)
