Mae Ploy Red Curry Paste 400g

Mae Ploy Red Curry Paste (พริกแกงเผ็ด แม่พลอย, phrik kaeng phet mae phloi) is a premium Thai red curry paste from MAE PLOY. Red curry (kaeng phet, แกงเผ็ด) is one of Thailand’s most versatile and widely cooked curries — a bold, spicy, and deeply aromatic coconut milk curry made from dried red chillies, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime, shrimp paste, and fragrant spices. Red curry sits between green curry (fresher and more herbal) and massaman (warmer and spice-forward) in terms of flavour profile — it is the most versatile of the three, suited to the widest range of proteins and vegetables and the most commonly used paste for everyday Thai cooking beyond curry itself. The red curry paste base is used not only for kaeng phet but also as a flavour base for a wide range of Thai dishes including pad phet (spicy stir-fry), jungle curry (kaeng pa), and various soups and marinades. Mae Ploy’s red curry paste is made from a carefully balanced blend of traditional ingredients, producing a paste with a bold, well-rounded, and deeply aromatic flavour. The 400 g tub is a large household format suited to multiple batches.
