Thai Massaman Curry Paste - Aroy-D - Mae Ploy
See our detailed report on how to make Thai curry paste, and the health benefits.
Massaman (matsaman) Curry Paste, massaman Brand, 14 oz
Massaman curry from Thailand has a mix of Malay, India, and muslim nation flavors, and it's often served with potato (see recipes below, massaman is also a wonderful part of Thai peanut sauce).
Aroy-D is a more expensive curry paste with a greater concentration of rich spices and the flavor is not harsh in any way. It's likely better than anything you can make at home using a mortar and pestle (see video below on how it's made).
With our premium Aroy-d, you get one 14 oz package, enough Thai curry to prepare dozens of meals. We like the rich, fresh flavor, we can really taste the difference between this brand and Mae Ploy and Maesri massaman curry paste. Taste is complex and heavier to the natural herbs, as only the best all natural ingredients are used.
Ingredients: dried red chile, garlic, shallot, salt, lemongrass, cumin seed, coriander seed, cinnamon, galangal, cardamom. Product of Thailand.
