Bosba Panh

A blog to share Khmer and international recipes, that we inherited from my grandmom and our multicultural background. Fifty years after she died during the genocide, people still remember her cuisine. She was so famous that when French governors came to the village, she was called to prepare the official dinners. Articles are mostly recorded by my mom and dad. I am a Cambodian western-educated composer (www.bosbapanh.com)

Laboy - vegetable mix for samlor

National dishes like the Samlor Khmer or Kari Saraman are accompanied by a careful selection of vegetables and herbs. This mix is an art as its combination must reveal the savor of the soup but not overpower it. Some vegetables are added to lighten the soup, others to make it crispy.

Le couscous au poisson de Tunis

In Phnom Penh, the Tamarind on street 240 offers the best couscous in town. We used to go so often that it became a favorite dish of Panhlauv, my bro and younger member of our family.

Ork Lam Ratatouille

This is a popular beef ratatouille and dills from Luang Prabang, the royal city of Laos. It is earthy and finds its roots in our forest and garden but it is the kind of national dish that one does not dare to take up when untrained.
