Maesri Thai Red Curry Paste

Used this for a Thai fish curry tonight and it was delicious. Never used a similar product before, but this brand comes highly recommended by Nagi from Recipe Tin Eats (Aussie chef- Google her she has some amazing on line recipes and 2 cook books available). It comes in a sturdy plastic pot, but inside it’s contained in a a very sturdy heat sealed plastic bag. So no worry about it spilling in transit. It’s a lovely thick paste. Only used 1 table spoon, so there was loads left, so I scooped out table spoons and popped them into some baking paper on a plate to freeze. When frozen I can put them in a zippy bag, ready for the next recipe. Makes for a really quick curry as the ingredients to make your own would be really difficult to find, if not impossible in my local supermarket. The label comes off the pot so easily too, so you can re use it for storage ( it’s that sturdy). Will definitely buy again when I’ve used it up.

Best I've had up to now.

Make the greatest curry with this paste! The wife can't get over it

This red curry paste has a great flavour , but seems to have lost some of its punch when being kept in the fridge for a week or so. The first Curry I made was for a party we were going to and as many people have different levels of heat tolerance I made a big pan of curry but only used 2 heaped teaspoons of the paste and I could taste a little back round kick from the heat , the dish went down well at the party and only one person found it too spicy , a week later I made another curry for just my wife and myself ,I ended up using 6 teaspoons of paste in a dish that was less than a quarter size of the one for the party and although the flavour was still great, there was very little chilli kick, so I added several whole chilli's to give it a little boost,, maybe the fact that after a week in the fridge the paste lost its va va voom , I do not know but a I said it still had great flavour so still a good product.

This will blow your bollocks off in a most delicious way.

I am yet to find a red Thai paste that I love and would recommend!
