Mae Ploy Massaman Curry Paste 400g

Mae Ploy Massaman Curry Paste (พริกแกงมัสสมั่น แม่พลอย, phrik kaeng mat-sa-man mae phloi) is a premium Thai massaman curry paste from MAE PLOY. Massaman curry (kaeng mat-sa-man, แกงมัสสมั่น) is one of Thailand’s most internationally celebrated dishes — a rich, slow-cooked style curry with a distinctly different character from other Thai curries. Where green and red curries are defined by fresh chilli heat and herbal aromatics, massaman is defined by its warm, complex spice profile: cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, star anise, and cumin — a blend that reflects the Persian and Muslim culinary influences that shaped the dish over centuries. The result is a mild, deeply aromatic, and comforting curry with a rich coconut milk base, typically made with beef or chicken, potatoes, and roasted peanuts. Massaman has been widely recognised as one of the world’s most delicious dishes. Mae Ploy’s paste captures this complex spice blend in a convenient, ready-to-use format. The 400 g tub is a large household format suited to multiple batches.
