About Panang Curry

Panang Curry is a rich, thick and mildly spicy Thai red curry made with coconut milk and a peanut-flavored curry paste. It is usually made with beef, pork or chicken and is less soupy than many Thai curries.

The paste is made from dried red chilies, lemongrass, galangal, garlic, shallots, coriander and cumin, and is often enriched with crushed peanuts. It is fried in thick coconut cream until fragrant, then the meat is added with fish sauce and palm sugar.

Finely shredded makrut lime leaves are added just before serving, giving a fresh citrus aroma. Panang curry is served with jasmine rice and is popular in Thai restaurants worldwide.
