Other than coconut milk the ingredients are pretty much the same, just in different ratios. Thai curries also have turmeric I guess just not as much. I love both Thai and Indian. Just depends on my mood. I think Indian curries have more fat in the curry and the Thai style has it floating on top, if that makes sense.

If you order in a restaurant, that is somewhat true.

There can be a lot of fat in both. Thai has the coconut milk and East Indian has the Ghee (clarified butter) and sometimes coconut milk as well.

I DO love lemongrass and I even grow it at home ~ but maybe something about the cooking time and the amount of lemongrass gives that weird taste to it

When I cook a curry at home I rarely add ghee (or just enough to heavily caramelize my red onions) and if I add coconut milk I add the extra light or just replace if with homemade yogurt to get the creaminess minus the fat.

I also microwave my papadums rather than fry them in oil.

I love lemongrass! If you grow it wild you can make a bundle of it and stuff it in your turkey or chicken and it makes it so yummy, lemony, and good.

Hmmm...Thai curries have ginger root and CILANTRO root. lol For those who don't take a liking to cilantro.
