Kaeng hung leh is a common curry in Chiang Mai, Thailand. This curry doesn't have coconut milk, it is just filled with spices. I grew up in Sanpatong, about an hour away from the city of Chiang Mai. I didn't make this curry a lot in Thailand because it is quite labor intensive.  Living in the U.S. kicked my curry-cooking to a high gear. For quite sometime, I have been working on my own version of this curry. Every family in Chiang Mai has their own recipe for Kaeng hung leh. I love mine with pork belly, and a slightly overwhelming amount of ginger and tamarind.
