Mae Ploy green Curry Paste 400g

Mae Ploy Green Curry Paste from Thailand

Build your next Thai green curry around Mae Ploy Green Curry Paste, a thick green to brown paste made in Thailand. Green chilli makes up 31% of the recipe, alongside lemongrass, garlic, galangal and kaffir lime peel. Coriander seed, pepper, cumin and turmeric complete the spice mixture, while shrimp paste adds a savoury ingredient to the blend.

The 400g tub gives you curry paste to measure out for your chosen recipe. It is a cooking paste, rather than a finished curry sauce, so combine it with coconut milk and the other ingredients before serving. Browse our cooking pastes when planning other curry meals.

Mae Ploy Green Curry Paste contains no added MSG, no preservatives and no artificial colour. It carries Halal certification from the Central Islamic Council of Thailand and a Superior Taste Award. The paste contains shrimp, so it is not suitable for vegetarian or vegan cooking and must be avoided by anyone with a crustacean allergy.

How to cook with Mae Ploy Green Curry Paste

For the recipe below, measure out 50g of green curry paste. Have your coconut milk, meat and vegetables ready before you start, so each ingredient can be added in sequence. Follow the current directions on the packaging if they differ.

1. Stir fry 50g of curry paste in one tablespoon of soybean oil, then add 240ml of coconut milk.
2. Add 200g of fresh meat and continue cooking.
3. Add another 120ml of coconut milk and 120ml of water, then bring to the boil.
4. Add 100g of aubergine, sweet basil leaves, kaffir lime leaves and chilli. Cook until the vegetables soften and the meat is fully cooked.
5. Add one and a half teaspoons of sugar. Taste the finished curry and adjust the seasoning as required.

For a milder flavour, use half the suggested amount of paste, 25g rather than 50g. The green chilli content gives this paste its chilli character, so choose the quantity to suit your taste rather than assuming every curry needs the full amount.

Serve your finished curry with cooked rice or vermicelli from our noodle range. Keep the accompaniment separate while you finish the curry, then serve together. Check the labels of the coconut milk, oil and other additions when cooking for someone with a food allergy.
