Panang Curry Paste - Lobo - 50g x 6 Packs

Panang Curry Thai

Panang Curry, known as Kaeng Phanaeng in Thai, is a delightful reflection of the rich diversity found in the southern region of Thailand. Its name hints at its Malaysian origins, as it pays homage to the Malaysian island of Penang, which borders southern Thailand. This particular iteration of red Thai curry boasts a lusciously thick, savory-sweet profile with a delightful undertone of nutty peanut flavor. It is a sumptuously creamy curry, rich with an array of spices and finely ground peanuts, creating a perfect complement to a serving of fragrant steamed jasmine rice. Often considered the most welcoming and accessible Thai curry for newcomers, Panang Curry is a delightful introduction to the world of Thai cuisine.

Traditionally, Panang Curry is prepared with beef, although it easily lends itself to seafood or chicken variations. For those on vegetarian or vegan diets, there are alternatives. Kapi Chae, which means "vegetarian shrimp paste" in Thai, serves as a substitute for shrimp paste, and fish sauce can be replaced with a robust vegetable broth or soy sauce. Tofu, a versatile ingredient, can effectively substitute for meat in this delicious curry.
