Hi, I have the same comment as the previous one - when to add roasted peanuts? Thanks!

I have a doubt, when to add the peanuts?

hey is there no need for spice?green/red chillies? i usually make instant pad thai.wanted to try this recipe

You can of course add it, as per your preference :) --DK

Hi, I had made the previous comment regarding tamarind and lemon juice inclusion in this recipe. Now that I have attempted making this, I understand the need. Individual components though with same flavour bring the exact taste of this recipe together. Yum! This was well appreciated at home, the only other version we have ever had is from ThaiExpress. I would also take this oppurtunity to let you know that I have tried making at least one recipe from each of your categories here, following the steps as you exactly describe it. I am a mom of two boys, with the first one slightly starting to seek attention in his own ways with the arrival of the second. I believed that one way to show him our unflinched commitment and love to him was to make new/interesting/healthy dishes for him myself for his breakfast,snackbox and lunchbox. Otherwise, our SriLankan live in helper cooks for us. Its been a month since I started putting in that little extra time for cooking in the morning and boy! what a change in him :) He is more composed, happy and focused now. Amma kai samayal! Without our cookbook here, I would have been at a loss of inspiration. Thank you so much for your efforts.

You actually wrote exactly what I was planning to with respect to lemon and tamarind ( and thanks for reminding me about this post! Have to revamp it with better photos!). I am extremely gratified with what you have written - makes me glad about this site and my reasons for doing it. Luv to your little ones. I have one myself and I know the role that amma's samayal plays in their appetites...but come to think of it, I love my mom (till date) for doing just that for me. I know cooking and stuff now, but when she came to visit me last time, I cannot forget the boundless joy eating the poori that my mom made for me. Pooris never tasted better! --DK

When will the lemon juice be used? Won't it make the prep very sour along with tamarind?

It's such a healthy dish. Your picture made me drool. Very nice Dhivya.

It sure did Jeena :)

I hardly cook with tofu, since i am not sure what to do with it.This preparation looks delicious.

That is looking yummy. I love phad thai in one of the thai restaurants here. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

The platter itself is so tempting besides all the veggies and tofu sounds very healthy.

Looks lovely tofu is great in stir fry. I bet it all tasted delicious with peanut oil. :-)
