Panang Curry Paste | Lobo 50 grams.

Panang Curry (or “nam-prik-kaeng-phanaeng” in Thai language) represents the diversity of Thailand’s southern region. The name of this curry suggests its Malaysian origin – it refers to the island of Penang in Northern Malaysia bordering Southern Thailand. This variation of red Thai curry is thick, salty and sweet, with a nutty peanut flavor. It is a full bodied, creamy curry made with various spices and finely ground peanut which goes well with steamed jasmine rice. This is said to be the warm and friendly Thai curry for foreigners to start with.
Panang curry is usually made with beef, but it can also be used for seafood or chicken curries. For vegetarians and vegans, there are vegetarian/vegan alternatives for shrimp paste called “kapi chae” in Thai (literally means “vegetarian shrimp paste”), and the fish sauce can be substituted with a strong vegetable stock or soy sauce. Tofu can be used in place of meat.

Panang Curry paste LOBO brand is made from the fresh ingredients and very easy for use. The earliest known mention of Panang Curry appears in Mom Somchin Rachanupraphan’s book “Tamra Kap Khao“, published in 1890.
