Panang Curry Paste

This aromatic Panang curry paste is a versatile vegan staple that brings the vibrant, complex flavours of Southeast Asia to your kitchen. Unlike other red curries, Panang is characterised by its rich, nutty profile provided by roasted peanuts, balanced with the citrusy brightness of kaffir lime leaves and fresh lemongrass. Using a blend of dried and fresh chillies, this homemade version offers a depth of flavour that shop-bought jars simply cannot match.

Making this savoury paste from scratch is a rewarding way to elevate your plant-based cooking. It is perfect for meal prepping, as it can be stored in the freezer for a quick, comforting weeknight dinner whenever you need it. Simply fry a few tablespoons with coconut milk and your favourite vegetables or tofu for a healthy, fragrant meal that is better than a takeaway.
