Kanokwan Yellow Curry Paste 50g

Kanokwan Yellow Curry Paste is a genuine Thai kitchen staple, built to turn a handful of pantry ingredients into a rich, gently spiced curry in minutes. Yellow curry is one of the milder members of the Thai curry family, leaning on turmeric, coriander and cumin for warmth rather than raw chilli heat, which makes it an easy entry point if you love Thai food but want something a touch softer than red or green curry. Kanokwan has built a strong reputation in Thailand for pastes made the traditional way, and this one is suitable for vegetarian cooking too, so it fits a wide range of tables.

The paste is made from garlic, shallot, lemongrass, galangal, red chilli, turmeric, cumin and coriander, pounded together the way a Thai household would prepare it fresh, then packed into a convenient 50g sachet. That means you get the depth of a slow built curry base without spending an evening peeling and pounding aromatics yourself. It is a handy addition to any UK kitchen exploring Thai products for the first time, or for anyone restocking a favourite.

How to cook a Thai yellow curry paste

Getting a good curry from this paste is straightforward. Stir the paste into a cup of coconut milk in a hot pan until the oil starts to separate and rise to the surface, which is the sign the spices have properly bloomed. Add around 200g of your chosen meat and cook until sealed, then pour in a cup of water along with potato, carrot and onion, and simmer until the vegetables are tender. Finish by adjusting the seasoning with a little sugar and fish sauce, or salt if you prefer a vegetarian version with soy sauce in its place. Serve it over steamed rice for a proper Thai style dinner, or ladle it over noodles for a change of pace.

Once opened, keep the remaining paste in the fridge and use it within 7 days, or freeze it if you want to keep some back for another night. Stored unopened in a cool, dry cupboard, it sits happily alongside the rest of your curry paste collection until you are ready to cook.
