Thai Curry, the spice preparation for authentic green, red and yellow curries
Thai Curry brings the characteristic triad of Thai cooking, freshness, spice and warmth, to the plate. We mix the preparation in our manufactory in Klingenberg am Main: lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves and chili for freshness and heat, galangal and ginger for the savoury depth, coriander for the round fullness and wakame seaweed for a subtle, maritime umami note.
How to use
Thai Curry suits green, red and yellow Thai curries with chicken, prawns, tofu or vegetables in coconut milk. Season Tom Kha and Tom Yum soups, wok dishes with beef or seafood, marinades for meat and fish, and Asian dips and satay sauces with it.
Good to know: For a curry paste, mix the powder with water in a ratio of one to two and toast it briefly in hot oil before the other ingredients and the coconut milk are added. That way the aromas open up best.
