This Mae Ploy Yellow Curry Paste is a beautiful pantry staple for easy Thai-inspired cooking at home.
Made with classic aromatics like turmeric, coriander, cumin, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime, shallots, and garlic, it delivers that signature golden colour and a warm, fragrant flavour with a mild-to-medium heat.
It’s perfect for a classic yellow curry - but like the rest of the Mae Ploy range, this 1L size is ideal for regular cooks because it works beautifully across stir-fries, soups, noodle dishes, marinades, sauces, dips, and rubs too.
This is not a one-recipe paste - it’s a multi-use flavour base.
