Thai Green Curry Pizza Gains Popularity in Finland
A unique culinary fusion offered by Koti Pizza has captivated taste buds across the country.
Koti Pizza, a prominent pizza chain in Finland with 305 outlets nationwide, has introduced a novel menu item: the Thai Green Curry Pizza.
This unexpected fusion of flavors combines traditional Thai green curry with pizza, creating a distinctive offering in the Finnish culinary landscape.
The creation is attributed to celebrated chef Risto Mikkola, who serves as the food development consultant for Koti Pizza.
Recently, the Thai Ambassador to Finland, Worawoot Pongprapapat, along with embassy staff, had the opportunity to taste the chicken green curry pizza at a Koti Pizza branch located in Sompasaari.
Mikkola hosted the tasting event, highlighting the successful collaboration between Thai and Finnish culinary cultures.
The inspiration for this innovative pizza topping emerged from an initiative by the Royal Thai Embassy approximately two years ago.
The embassy organized an event that showcased Thai cuisine and cooking methods at the Ambassador's residence, which ignited Mikkola's idea to adapt Thai dishes to suit the tastes of Finnish and European consumers.
According to Mikkola, many traditional Thai flavors and dishes can be harmoniously integrated into the local palates, resulting in a product that resonates with both Thai and Finnish dining traditions.
