What is a Thai Curry?

A Thai curry is a delicious sauce made from fresh herbs, spices, and coconut milk, combined with meat, fish, or tofu. There are different types of Thai curries, each with its own unique flavor. Below is an overview of the most popular variants you can choose from:

1. Green Curry (Kaeng Khiao Wan): Spicy and aromatic, made with green chili peppers and coconut milk.
2. Red Curry (Kaeng Phet): This curry is the mildest, with a creamy, smooth taste thanks to red chili peppers​.
3. Yellow Curry (Kaeng Kari): Slightly spicier than the red curry, with a warm, spicy flavor from turmeric, cumin, and coriander.
4. Massaman Curry: Mildly spicy with a nutty flavor and Indian influences.
5. Panang Curry: A creamy, mild curry with a subtle mix of peanuts, coconut milk, and herbs, perfect for those who love rich, soft flavors.

Fun Facts About Thai Curries

Did you know that…

• Green curry is traditionally considered the spiciest of all curries due to the use of green chili peppers?
• Massaman curry was once declared the "royal dish" by the King of Thailand due to its rich flavor and historical ties to foreign trade routes?
• The color of the curry often indicates its spiciness, with green being the hottest, yellow medium, and red the mildest?
• Panang curry  is named after the island of Penang in Malaysia and is known for its thicker, creamier texture due to the use of coconut milk and peanuts?
• Coconut milk, a common ingredient in Thai curries, not only balances the flavors but also gives a softer, less spicy taste experience?
