Mae Ploy Red Curry Paste 1 Kg

Having tried Thai curries for the first time on an amazing holiday in Thailand, I was rather disappointed when trying to replicate flavours using pastes from supermarkets in the UK. Having tried Mae Ploy's Penang curry paste with great success (and compliments from guests), I decided to try this company's red curry paste to see if that was as good. I was not disappointed. Both bring back the memories of dinner on the beach and lunches in the jungle. Please note that this is a fairly spicey curry (as it should be) and the instructions clearly state to use half the stated amount of paste if a milder curry is desired. My wife and I like a hot curry and actually add a green finger chilli with the vegetables. Basically, you can tailor this to your taste (something you cannot do with jars of curry sauce). A useful tip: When first opened, I divide the paste into single-recipe weights and store in the freezer in individual small tubs. This way, they have lasted over 18 months without any deterioration in flavour and are instantly ready for cooking. I would not hesitate to recommend these curry pastes to anyone who enjoys authentic Thai curries.

This is very good. The only thing is wish they did this in a smaller quantity. The taste is really good of the paste and the flavours are authentic. It is better than we eat at a restaurant. I will recommend it. You can actually prepare the Thai curry as a family and it makes it a good. family event. We love cooking this in our home.

A bit spicier than expected use less than it says if you don’t like it red hot!! It is tasty though, i actually am an expert at Indian cuisine even to grinding all my own spices and making everything from fresh ingredients, this is of course different but it really does taste as authentic as any Thai curry I’ve ever ordered from a restaurant use fresh ingredients and you have a very cheap Thai meal, I bought jasmine rice to go with it.

I squeeze 38g of this paste into a pan containing a tin of coconut milk, boil it up and add chopped raw chicken, then veg for a tasty quick dinner. My son's friend introduced us to this paste - he is half Thai - and we have never looked back. Good value, tasty and hot and spicy. With trial and error we find 38g to a 400g tin of coconut milk is spicy enough for us and our adult children, and we enjoy hot spicy food. Lasts for ages in the fridge. It comes in a sealed bag inside the tub which I snip the corner off then fold up (squeezing the air out) after use and return to the tub. Made a mistake buying the kilo pot, usually get the 400g or something, but never mind, we are addicted to the taste of this so it will get used. A few drops of lime juice can enhance sometimes.

The first time I used this I used too much paste and the curry turned out scorchingly hot. However, now that I've worked out how much paste to use, this curry is absolutely delicious. I use quite a lot of coconut milk with it, and that takes the edge off the heat slightly. It works out good value when you buy this kilogram tub, and with the resealable lid or it keeps for quite a few weeks in the fridge. Update: The price has gone up around 50% since I bought it, so not quite as good value as before, but still worth it.

ingredients in this are great, no additives and great value

A tub of this goes a long way,it's a low to medium heat and very tasty,I use it with coconut milk for Thai red Currys.

Ok

This stuff is the BOMB! Don't follow directions on the package, do this instead. Get some coconut cream simmering in a big pan or pot—just the cream, not the coconut water. Put in a couple of big tablespoons of paste, adjust according to the amount of heat you want. Stir and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Add the remaining coconut water and then add palm sugar and fish sauce to taste. Simmer for a couple more minutes and add protein. I like to use skinless, boneless chicken thighs. Give it another 10-15 then add veggies for the last few minutes. Serve with rice. Best!

Excellent curry paste!

It's the best Thai Curry paste that I have ever used. It's slightly on the spicier side which I personally like. But can be a little too much for some folks (just like my wife 😂) but you can build a taste for spice slowly with use. The 2kg combo was such a good purchase. And the good thing is you can store in the fridge after opening it and it will last for months. Absolutely recommended.
