Ceres Organics Organic Red Thai Curry Paste 175g is a medium-spiced cooking paste for making a Thai-style red curry with ingredients you choose. The prepared blend brings together chilli, herbs and spices with onion, garlic and coconut ingredients. It is a curry base to build on, giving you room to choose the vegetables, sauce and accompaniments for your meal.
The red recipe includes lemongrass, galangal and lime leaves alongside coriander and cumin. Those last two spices distinguish its ingredient list from the green paste in the range, which contains turmeric and black pepper instead. Coconut oil, coconut sugar and coconut vinegar complete the blend. Choose this version when the combination of chilli, aromatic herbs, coriander and cumin suits the curry you have in mind.
For a plant-based dinner, simmer the paste with coconut milk, chickpeas and lentils, then finish with lime and fresh coriander. Serve with rice or quinoa to carry the sauce. You can also use your own combination of vegetables and protein, adjusting the paste to your spice preference and following the current jar directions. The paste itself is vegan; the suitability of the finished curry depends on the other ingredients you add.
The 175g jar is made in Sri Lanka and the paste is certified organic. Keep it in a cool, dry place before opening. Once opened, refrigerate it and use within two weeks, so it is worth planning another cooked meal while the jar is open. Check the current pack for directions and allergen information when preparing food for others. This is a useful option for cooks who prefer a prepared spice blend while retaining control over the rest of the dish.
