Mae PloyRed Curry Paste 1 Kg

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.

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.

Love this curry paste. It's quite a strong paste so a little goes a long way. I love hot curries but if I overdo this it's easy to sort out with the addition of some cream, yoghurt, etc. I'd add a little at a time to your recipe if you're new to it. Once opened, it keeps well in the fridge.

Very good for many meals giving a good red Thai sauce, great value, lasts for ages as you can use quite small amount of the paste to make the sauce.

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.

great product

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.
