Tam ma-muang or tam ba-muang is a kind of spicy salad with mangoes as the main ingredient. It goes well with such fresh or boiled vegetables as betel leaves, cha-om (acacia insuvais), swamp morning glory, linearis Hosk fa, Volubis and galangal shoots. Variations can be made when you substitute santol, gooseberries or plum mangoes for mangoes. (Rattana Phromphichai, 1999, p. 2409; Prathum Unsi, personal communication, June 25, 2007) |
