Green Thai Curry Paste
Watch how to cook a Mae Jum curry!
Thai green curry is one of our medium spiced curries, similar to Thai red curry except that it gets its signature colour from the green chillies.
Using ingredients such as sweet Thai basil, coriander and kaffir lime leaves contributes to the authentic taste of a Thai green curry. When used in recipes, is uncompromising, real and beyond challenge. This paste is full of flavour, that 1 pack can serve 8 people!
How it’s made
There are various types of green chillies, some are hot, while others are sweet. Mixing these types of chillies produce the right balance of colour and heat. A southern Thai green curry can be quite spicy, although it does have a mild sweetness to it too. In fact, green curry in Thai is ‘Kaeng kiew wan’ which translate to ‘sweet green curry’.
Only the best quality herbs and spices go into our Thai green curry pastes! These ingredients are green chilli, lemongrass, shallots, garlic, galangal, white pepper, turmeric, coriander seeds, coriander root, kaffir lime rind, cumin seeds and rock salt. To add that all-important sweetness add palm sugar when cooking and garnish with sweet Thai basil.
Origin & Type
Originating at the start of the 20th century, during the reign of King Rami 6 or 7, the ingredients do vary from region to region. It includes fish or meat, a coconut milk base, seasoned with palm sugar and shrimp paste or fish sauce. Typically, aubergines and baby (pea) aubergines are used, but other green vegetables can be used.
The sauce is usually quite thin and depends on the amount of coconut milk and water used. Can be made into a mild, but flavoursome curry to serve with a wider selection of dishes in a meal and eaten with steamed rice or Khamon Chin noodles. Green curry can be made thicker and spicer by adding less coconut milk and can be eaten with flatbread, as can other variants.
Kind Words from Our Customers
So tasty, so far we tried the yellow, red and green Thai curry and we love them they've got great flavour as well as a good kick to them. We'll be reordering soon!
Simply the best Thai curry pastes - full stop. They are all distinctly different and the best, nothing rivals them. We have Thai curry every week and they are absolutely fantastic. As we are two person household, we simply freeze the unused paste for another week, the flavours don't degrade or alter. They never dissapoint.
Great delivery. The currypastes from this company is by far the best I've ever had. Very nuanced flavour, and you can really taste the various ingredients. Will never go back to normal supermarket paste, as the price and quality of these ones are next level!
I ordered 3 packs of the Jungle Curry paste and this stuff is the real deal. I’ve managed to make jungle curry taste like when I had it in Thailand. Warning - this paste is very hot. I’m no stranger to spicy food, having a pretty good tolerance, but this stuff is potent. You may wish to not use the full sachet the first time you try it.
Incredible value for money!! You get so many packs and each one serves 8 people!! Wonderful flavours x
