Mae Ploy Massaman Curry Paste - 400gram

Excellent curry paste. If your looking to make Thai food these pastes are the real and create authentic dishes.

Said it would be next day delivery for me a prime member ordered on a Saturday for Sunday. Bought the rest of the ingredients and then didn’t get delivered until 8.30 on Monday. Why does prime keep saying next day delivery and not delivering next day?The paste itself is delicious and great value highly recommended

I live out in the boonies and no chance of getting anything like this in the shops - Sainsbury's sell a Massaman paste, but it's nowhere near as good as this. This is a concentrated, dry paste to fry gently first, before adding coconut milk, meat (I use chicken), diced spud, onion, peanuts and tamarind. Product comes in a sealed poly bag inside the carton. Dead easy to cut a corner off the bag, squeeze out a couple of 'fingers' of this paste and shut the bag back in the carton.It's delicious. Not a belter of a Thai curry. I think its fairly mild, full of flavour and the balance of flavours is good - although I have to say, I think it is a bit salt, and needs balancing out with a bit of sugar, and it does need the tamarind. If the balance between hot and salt had been a bit better, then this paste wouldn't have lost a star.I like a dollop of peanut butter added to the sauce while it's cooking and a handful of raw cashews. That probably gives me a totally different Thai dish, but who cares. It's heavenly and so easy to make.

Had to find a substitute as my local store took the one they offered the shelf and I got fed up mixing 21 spices to form a good paste. . This is GREAT! Massaman lamb shoulder and potatoes with sticky rice. Had it twice and have enough sauce left over do a chicken one tonight. Easy to use.Take two, did a pork massaman with potatoes and green beans. Fried onions, par boiled the spuds a few mins before, I used 75g of paste for a deeper flavour, and a tad of water on a lower heat to make sure I didn’t burn the spices, pork in, milk in, spuds, beans and extra coconut cream and voila! The temple of massaman! Jasmine rice and a shovel also required. If you want heat, use chilli oil to your tastebuds, mine tend to be hot. And don’t forget the peanuts on top!! The last photo is beef brisket.

Good quality paste, tastes just as expected. Great value and quick delivery.

If you haven't used before, suggest you give it a try. Makes amazing massaman curry, thoroughly recommend

Very authentic but far too rich for me but I think the taste was good.

Loved flavoured paste, really good value as you can can do many meals (maybe 30!) from one pot.
