Panang curry is a popular thai curry made with meat or veggies. The base contains the usual suspects of thai curry like kaffir ime eaves, lemon grass, galangal, bird's eye chili etc. In addition this curry has peanuts making it less spicy and slightly sweet.

To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have (hotter than it looks) thai curry base using 14 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make (Hotter Than It Looks) Thai Curry Base:

  7. Take the zest of 1 lime (or 3 kaffir lime leaves finely julienned)
  8. Make ready 2 Tablespoons oil
  9. Get 1-2 teaspoons curry powder, depending on how strong a curry flavor you prefer

  11. Get 1 Tablespoon lime juice

As a Thai and the owner of My Thai Curry, a curry paste company that ships its products all over the world I feel I am pretty well placed to answer this question. Until fairly recently I had no difficulty in giving an unequivocal answer to the question. Other varieties used are Thai green chili - most authentic and defo hotter. This Thai red curry paste is easy to make from scratch—you'll never buy packaged curry pastes again once you try this recipe.

Instructions to make (Hotter Than It Looks) Thai Curry Base:
  1. In a preheated medium high pan, saute the aromatics - onion, garlic, ginger, chilies, chili flakes, and lime zest - in the 2 Tablespoons of oil until the onions are translucent. Add the curry powder, stir to incorporate, and let the curry bloom for a minute or so.
  2. Add the remainder of the ingredients and stir to incorporate thoroughly, turn the heat up to high, and bring the curry to an active boil for a minute.
  3. Add in your protein and veg and bring the curry back up to a boil for a minute or so, turn the heat down to medium high, and let it simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, or until your protein is cooked through. Bite sized pieces of seafood will take no time at all (3 to 5 minutes), white meat chicken a little bit longer (5 to 7 minutes), and dark meat yet longer (7 to 10 minutes).
  4. Give it a stir, adjust the seasoning if needed - a little more salt or fish sauce if you want it saltier, a little more lime juice if you like extra tang, maybe a pinch more of sugar to round out all the flavors - simmer another minute or two, and that's it! Serve with steamed rice.
  5. For the curry in this pic I used: 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined (I used 31/40 size), 1/2 pound button or crimini mushrooms, 1/2 pound snow peas, 1/2 red bell pepper cut into 1/4-inch strips, and an 8 oz can (the short one) of bamboo shoots, drained. But you can of course use whatever veg you like and have handy, following the general measurement guidelines of 1 pound of protein and 1 pound of veg for 4 servings.
  6. Enjoy! :)

Homemade curry paste creates tastier dishes than store-bought pastes, and they're healthier, too. Red curry paste makes for excellent Thai curry, including curry chicken and seafood curries, beef curry, vegetarian curries, and fish curry. The base is made with fresh, young green chilis which makes green curry hotter than other curries and in our opinion one of the best tasting! While still spicy and a bit sweet, this plays to your savory taste buds more than green curry. The color comes from the bigger red chilies used to create the base.
