Yellow Curry (Kang Karee) Paste Thai Maesri 4 Oz. Review

Yellow Curry (Kang Karee) Paste Thai Maesri 4 Oz.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I use this to replicate a Vietnamese curry I grew up with:
To a large pot add the following:
1 can of Karee Curry Paste with 1 can (14 oz) of coconut milk, 2-3 cups water, 3lbs of chicken, 2 large or 3 medium potatoes (cut to bite-sized cubes) and 2-3 carrots (same as potatoes), 1 large onion (cut into quarters), and a few whole jalepenos (remove the stem). You can also add a stick of lemongrass. You can also substitute coconut milk with regular milk, and eggplant for the chicken (veggie option).
Bring to boil then simmer for 20-30 minutes. Add corn starch to bring the soup to its desired consistency. I like it thicker and stew-like. Salt+MSG to taste. You will need MSG to bring the flavor out - I use 1 part MSG per 1 part salt.
Server over rice or with french bread. You can spritz in some lime (my parents always do) but I like it without the lime.
I'm lazy so this does end up over cooking the chicken a bit, but it ensures the potatoes and carrots are soft and mushy the way I like them - plus no extra steps. Make sure the water covers the chicken. Chicken breast seems to dry out, leg quarters stay tender. If you use eggplant I like to use larger chunks (1.5" or so) since they tend to mush up a bit.
Anyways I love this curry paste. I would get "curry pangs" and have to make this every couple weeks while I was in college. So easy to do and it would feed me for a few days.

This is amazing Indian food that you can make at home without having to go out, the tandoori is awesome and I also suggest the butter chicken.

Tandoori is a spicy Indian-style barbecue of marinated meats and vegetables served with creamy raita – a yogurt and cucumber sauce seasoned with herbs. Although we consider Tandoori a recipe, it is actually an Indian cooking method. Marinated meat is cooked over a fire in a tandoor – or clay oven, where the heat escapes through the top. Tandoori usually takes a long time to cook, but you can make your own delicious recipe in 30 minutes with a Gourmantra\' meal kit.

Pataks Mild Curry Paste 10 Oz Review

Pataks Mild Curry Paste 10 Oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Patek's is my favorite curry paste--no MSG and simple ingredients. For a great, easy meal on an evening when you are too tired to make a curry from scratch, saute some onions, throw in a can of tomatoes, some water, and a few tablespoons of Patek's Mild Curry Paste, and then you can take it wherever you like it--meat, tofu, veggies--as your fancy strikes you.
Now this paste may say "mild," but there is still enough spice to make your mouth tingle pleasantly--just enough. When I serve Patek's mild, I take out some chicken or whatever before serving to my four-year-old--I don't think she could handle the "mild" spice level. Mom and Dad love it, though.
The downside is that one little jar does not go a long way. If you use the paste in the concentration that it calls for (and I recommend doing so, for an authentic Indian taste), you will get two or three dinners out of it. But for flavor and ease of use and sheer delight, you cannot beat Patek's. The guests you serve it to will be amazed--and you can hide your little jar in the refrig and bask in all that glory.
Amazon's cost is high for this item, at $5, but if convenience is important to you, then that's a consideration--having a powerful culinary secret delivered to your door might make the extra buck or two worth it. If you have time and are near an Asian/Indian foods store, then expect to pay $3 if you are lucky, or around $4 in most places. Stock up, because unopened, these last forever.

Mae Ploy Thai Yellow Curry Paste - 14 oz jar Review

Mae Ploy Thai Yellow Curry Paste - 14 oz jar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
New to Thai cuisine, I asked to try a milder curry, my tastes running to a maximum of medium heat. Yellow curry was recommended, and the coconut milk based Thai version was a treat with both seafood and chicken-something I've had occasion to order again and again.
So when trying to re-create the taste sensations above, I was less than thrilled at the idea of grinding individual spices, purchasing a number of pricey ingredients with limited shelf life and narrow applications.
I did some research and found that many Thai housewives rely on the time and labor savings of using high quality curry pastes as the basis for soups, curries and more. Mae Ploy was one of the brands repeatly mentioned as high quality and fresh tasting.
This brand comes in a handful of flavors and heat levels, with the Yellow Curry Paste being the first I was eager to try. It has a shelf life of 2 years, and the large plastic pouch also keeps very well nestled in its own colorful tub in the refrigerator.
The flavors of lemon grass, shallot, gingery galanga, kaffir lime peel, warm spices and red chili are very well balanced. This is the only Mae Ploy Curry paste without shrimp paste, making it vegan-suitable as well as delicious with shellfish, fish or fowl.
I like to snip off one corner of the clear packet, then squeeze out just the amount I need-anywhere from 1/2 teaspoon to 2 Tablespoons, depending on the recipe. This helps to maintain freshness and flavor and avoid waste.
For Thai curry, I will combine the Yellow Curry Paste with a small amount of chicken broth, then add 3/4 Cup more broth per person, plus a can of coconut milk to mellow and round the flavor. A cup or two of chunked seafood or chicken, plus cubed potatoes and onion-simmered together for about 30 minutes- makes a very satisfying dish to serve with either traditional sticky rice or more the more occidental long grain variety.
Mae Ploy's Thai Yellow Curry is also delicious with just a bit added to your favorite dip, salad dressing, or try a teaspoonful combined with 1 cup of sour cream or plain yogurt 'painted' over your favorite fish fillets and baked just until cooked through, (about 15-20 minutes at 325).
The fine quality of this product has encouraged me to order another flavorful curry paste-also excellent-and I would highly recommend this product for those wishing to re-create favorite restaurant fare at a reasonal price, without tedious preparation.

First of all, I downgraded this from 5 to 4 stars because of the packaging only. It comes packed in a plastic pouch that makes it very difficult to use every last bit. As far as the good stuff, I betcha this is what they use in Thai restaurants for panang curry. It is the simplest thing I've found when I'm really jonesing for some great curry - add some coconut milk (the real thing, not that lite junk), a little fish sauce, some sugar, and whatever veggies you have around - red bell pepper, carrots, zucchini, a nice fat serrano chili - maybe a little chicken - ladle it over some brown rice - voila! A great meal. I have kept this in the fridge for over six months at a time with no molding or spoilage whatever. Try it!

My cousin-in-law is Thai and she cooked an amazing curry for us. I had to have the recipe and she said it was really very simple. Just get the green Mae Ploy curry paste, some Asian basil, and some coconut milk. A little salt, sugar, chicken, some bamboo shoots and rice were the only other things I would need to make it. Well, I couldn't believe it was really THAT simple, but it was! The paste imparts several subtle and delicious flavors to the curry. Tastes like you slaved for hours. I never have leftovers when I make this curry. The paste is so low priced I plan to stock up so I'll always have some on hand. Plus-- no preservatives, no wierd ingredients. It's all food stuffs, albiet some of the ingredients I don't recognize... what is a galangal? Whatever it all is, sure tastes good!

I have tried several of the Asian Home Gourmet spice packets, and so far I have been pleased with them all. The Korma curry was fantastic. You just saute onions with some oil and the spice packets. Add your chicken and stir until it is browned, add water and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Finish off with some coconut cream or yogurt. When I mix yogurt into this dish (or any curry dish) I mix a bit of flour in with the yogurt. That keeps it from curdling. Give it a try. It is a smooth, mild curry.

I actually prefer Thai red curry Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste, 4-Ounce Jars (Pack of 12) to Patak's but this is pretty good too. By definition, Madras is hot so you have a few options: deal with the heat, use coconut milk or yogurt to mellow it out.
This curry in combination with a pressure cooker = Dinner in 20 minutes. Personally, I like boneless skinless chicken thighs. For vegetables, I use an onion, a potatoe, some carrots and occasionaly a tomato. When I feel like splurging a little, I use boneless lamb or bone-in goat.
On the econimcal scale, this product is very cost effective. On the I'm lazy scale, this product makes meal preparation a breeze. Like I said: Use a pressure cooker.

Pataks Vindaloo Curry Paste 10 Oz Review

Pataks Vindaloo Curry Paste 10 Oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love Indian food. I own two Indian food cookbooks, but find the list of spices so daunting that I've never tried any of their recipes. I heard from a coworker that prepared Indian curry pastes were available at specialty stores, so I looked for them here at Amazon and was delighted to find Patak's curry pastes. The spice level is nice, for those of us who like our food hot and spicy, and you can always add more paste if you want more kick.
Here are the ingredients: Vegetable oil, cilantro, salt, tamarind, water, cumin, turmeric, chile pepper, ground ginger, garlic powder, maize flour, spices, acetic acid, citric acid, lactic acid.
And here is a basic recipe from the label:
Shrimp Vindaloo, serves 2
1 medium onion, diced
2 tbsp vegetable oil
8 oz. fresh shrimp, peeled (or any other meat)
3/4 cup water
4 tbsp Patak's hot vindaloo curry paste
1/2 cup diced canned tomatoes
hot, cooked rice
Saute onion in oil. Add shrimp and saute until pink. Stir in curry paste and cook about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and water. Simmer, uncovered until the shrimp is cooked, about 5 minutes. Serve over hot, cooked rice.
I tried it with beef (which you'd never be able to order at an Indian restaurant) and simmered for 25 minutes, and it turned out pretty well. Not exactly restaurant quality, but very good for a prepared paste. I now keep Patak's paste and some tomatoes on hand, in case I want to whip up a quick, spicy dish using leftover roast chicken or beef. I look forward to trying the other Patak's pastes.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My husband and I love Patak's Tikka Masala cooking sauce (albeit with some tweaking involved), but we did not care for this korma sauce. We found it too sweet and not like the korma curries that we've tasted in Indian restaurants, and we eat Indian food quite often. There's a strong sweet flavor to this sauce which is not found in the korma dishes we've tasted. I guess I could tweak the recipe and add ingredients to minimize the overpowering sweetness but then I'd rather just cook the korma curry from scratch - the whole point of this sauce is to save time and fix an Indian curry with minimal fuss. I would not recommend this particular Patak sauce.
