Jarome Gaeng Kua Prik / Gaeng Tai Pla / Gaeng Pa Curry Paste 100g

Jarome Curry Paste (พริกแกง จะโหรม, phrìk gæng ja-hòom) is a versatile Southern Thai curry paste from the Jarome brand that can be used to prepare three distinct regional Thai curry styles: Gaeng Kua Prik (แกงคั่วพริก), Gaeng Tai Pla (แกงไตปลา), and Gaeng Pa (แกงป่า). All three are bold, intensely spiced Southern Thai curries made without coconut milk — Gaeng Kua Prik is a dry-roasted chilli curry; Gaeng Tai Pla is a pungent, fermented fish kidney curry unique to Southern Thailand; and Gaeng Pa is a jungle curry with a clear, herb-forward broth and high chilli heat. This paste base is suited to all three preparations, with the final dish differentiated by the protein and additional ingredients used.
