The Essence of Thailand: Premium Red Curry Paste (1kg)
At Jalaram Food Products, we understand the challenges of running a Pan-Asian kitchen in Ahmedabad. Your customers demand the authentic taste of “Thai Curry,” but sourcing fresh Galangal or Kaffir Lime leaves every morning from the wholesale market is expensive and inconsistent.
We offer the solution: Commercial Grade Thai Red Curry Paste (1kg). As a leading wholesale trader and HORECA supplier, we bring you a high-quality, shelf-stable paste that captures the complex flavor profile of Thailand. Whether you run a specialized Asian restaurant on Sindhu Bhavan Road or a Wedding Catering unit offering a “Live Thai Counter,” this paste ensures your curry tastes the same—delicious and authentic—every single time.
Why Use Ready-Made Paste?
- Cost Control: Fresh Thai herbs spoil quickly. Using a 1kg paste tub ensures zero wastage. You use exactly what you need, and the rest stays fresh in the fridge.
- Labor Saving: Making a proper Rempah (spice paste) involves peeling, chopping, and grinding hard ingredients like Galangal and Lemongrass. Our paste comes pre-ground and ready to cook, saving your chefs hours of prep time.
- Flavor Consistency: Authenticity lies in the balance. Our paste has the perfect ratio of spicy Red Chilli to aromatic Lemongrass, ensuring your curry isn’t too hot or too bland.
The Flavor Profile: Spicy & Aromatic
Red Curry is known as Kaeng Phet in Thailand, which literally means “Spicy Curry.”
- The Heat: Derived from dried red spur chillies. It provides a deep, warming heat and a vibrant red color to the gravy.
- The Aromatics: The base notes come from Lemongrass (citrusy), Galangal (sharp/piney), Kaffir Lime Peel (zesty), and Coriander Roots.
- The Savory: Balanced with garlic, shallots, and salt.
Culinary Applications: Beyond Just Curry
While the name says “Curry Paste,” this 1kg tub is a versatile weapon in a commercial kitchen:
- Classic Thai Red Curry The standard preparation: Fry the paste in a little oil to release the oils. Add Coconut Milk (which we also supply), vegetables (Bamboo shoots, baby corn, broccoli), and your protein (Paneer, Tofu, or Chicken). Simmer until thick. Serve with Jasmine Rice.
- Thai Fried Rice & Noodles A tablespoon of Red Curry Paste added to the wok while tossing Fried Rice or Pad Thai gives it an incredible red hue and a spicy kick that regular Schezwan sauce cannot replicate.
- Marinades (Satay & Grills) Mix the paste with a little coconut milk and sugar to create a marinade for Thai Satay Skewers (Chicken or Paneer). The paste caramelizes on the grill, creating a smoky, flavorful crust.
- Thai Fish Cakes / Corn Cakes Mix the paste into the batter of fish cakes or corn fritters (Tod Mun) before frying. It seasons the batter from within.
Chef’s Guide: How to Balance the Curry
Since this is a concentrated commercial paste, share these tips with your staff:
- The “Crack” Technique: When cooking, fry the paste in a little thick coconut cream first until the oil separates (“cracks”). This releases the full aroma of the herbs.
- Sweet & Salty: Thai food is about balance. Once the curry is boiling, you must season it with Palm Sugar (for sweetness) and Soy Sauce (for saltiness) to round out the spicy paste.
- Color Check: If you want a brighter red color without adding more heat, add a little Kashmiri Chilli Powder or Paprika Powder during the frying stage.
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life: Unopened tubs last up to 24 months.
- Refrigeration: Once opened, the tub must be stored in the refrigerator. Ensure the lid is closed tightly to prevent the paste from drying out.
- Hygiene: Always use a clean, dry spoon to scoop out the paste. Moisture introduced into the tub can cause mold.
