Mae Ploy Red Curry Paste, Authentic Thai Curry Paste With Red Chili, Shrimp Paste, Lemongrass and Aromatic Herbs for Cooking Butter Chicken, Rendang, Curries, Stews and Other Dishes, 2.2lbs Tub

I have to give the product 5 stars.m because the product is fine. But Holy moly is it spicy! I am used to the Thai kitchen red curry paste. I go through tiny jars like crazy when I make big batches of curry and they cost me a fortune at the grocery store. I thought I'd try to save some money buying this brand, but it is so much spicier! Flavor is great! But what good is flavor when my mouth is on fire and I can't taste anything? It's just not for me. If you can stand a medium to higher heat, this will suit you well. But I'm a mild girl. So Thai kitchen brand is better suited for me. Yes this would go farther because of how potent the spice is, but I love that full depth of flavor with less heat! I sautéed it for a few seconds in oil. Only a spoonful. I had to add two cans of coconut milk while trying to suit it to my taste and it was still too spicy. It was barely even pink. Too hot for me. I gave the rest to my father that eats raw red Thai chilies for fun! He'll love it! It's just not for a weakling like me! The 32oz tub of Thai kitchen brand is $23 compared to this $7 slightly smaller tub. But the cost difference doesn't matter in the end if I can't eat it. If you are used to Thai kitchen brand and like the nearly non existence of heat but tons of depth in flavor. Stick with that brand. If you want more heat, then this more authentic brand will be a delight! Especially for the price! I wish it worked for me! You can't beat the price for the size!

Excellent red curry paste, far better than anything you can find in the store unless you can shop at an Asian market. Big container will keep for a long time in the refrigerator so you can continue to use from it for a variety of dishes. You get a lot of curry dinners out of this tub, great value. It’s spicy, just use less and add coconut milk or table cream. Works in Italian dishes too, add less, use tomato sauce, onions, garlic, carrots, for spicy bolognese, google NYT recipe.

It’s incredibly easy to make authentic Thai curry at home! It only took 20 minutes from start to finish, and now I don’t feel the need to order from a restaurant anymore. The 14 oz container lasts a long time, making it both economical and convenient. It’s tasty, affordable, and quick to prepare. I love it and highly recommend it to everyone!

Those red curry has a little more spice forward flavor than others I've tried, a little lighter on the lemongrass than I prefer but still a good solid red curry.

Very authentic and tasty red curry paste, but fairly salty, so must use less of other salty condiments (like fish sauce, soy sauce) in recipes. That's fine if you know it, and can tweak those other seasonings by taste before serving.

Great flavor, just saute with some onions and garlic and add some coconut milk and your choice of protein and vegetables.

This product gives you easy to use red curry paste that is authentic and tastes like the laborious home made versions. Recommend by Pailin. Adjust the portion to your taste; it can be quite spicy.

I love this stuff, perfect for thai curries and soups. Classic stuff and you get a LOT, like this is a huge container and will last a long while if you keep it in the fridge.
