Mae Ploy Massaman Curry Paste, Authentic Thai Masaman Curry Paste For Thai Curries And Other Dishes, Aromatic Blend Of Herbs, Spices And Shrimp Paste (14 oz Tub)

Love it!

This is the best massaman paste on the market. I prepare mine using oso bucco minus the bone. Cut into medium pieces, add onions and potatoes cut into medium pieces. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of this paste and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, smooth or crunchy your choice and fill the pan up so as you have enough water to fully cook the meat and allow to reduce the liquid amount and allow to simmer for a 1 to 2 hours so that the meat is so soft...taste test it and if desired add 1 more tablespoon of paste and coconut milk then allow a further 15 to 20 mins to really set off the flavour. Make sure there is not too much liquid or it will be runny and weak. Fantastic product and always in my fridge because the family begs me to make this when they visit.

I am no expert on Massaman curry paste but I think that this is pretty good. I plan on buying it again.

Tastes great. Good value. Less oily than other brands I have tried

The flavors and taste of this curry are nice and I would say overall it is good value for the money, but my only issue with it is it's not as spicy or rich as I had hoped it would be. I've made about 3 curries with the Mae Ploy Massaman curry so far and I find it's better if I add a tablespoon more than what I'm used to using. The packaging and seal are ideal, and I keep in in the fridge between uses.

Great paste for Massaman curry!

Delicious and perfect for massaman curries. Saves you having to buy tons of seasoning and easy to use.

This came highly recommended. I had to use so much paste to get a reasonable curry flavor that I don't think I would purchase it again

So ‘warmth’ is slightly misleading. As it a out of 5, I did not want to score low as that looks like a criticism. For those of you reading this to mean ‘this is really hot’ that is not what this reads as to me. Massaman is a flavoursome beautiful curry but not hot, not meant to be. It is curry but the chilli or heat is swapped with complex flavours. Massaman is one of my most favourite curries and this paste does not disappoint. As well suited to beef as it is for vegetarians with waxy and sweet potatoes and green beans. Not suited to vegans as there are fish ingredients. This paste is high value and high quality and with the right extra cooking ingredients (fish sauce, a cinnamon stick, coconut milk, galangel paste, soft brown sugar, raw peanuts and lemon juice) you end up with an amazing flavourful curry that competes with any take away Thai at a bargain price. I’d give this paste 100% and also though the 1kg sounds a lot, this stuff lasts safely in the fridge forever almost. My friends (meat eaters and vegetarians) each rated the relevant versions at dinner. It’s well priced also compared to prices at Asian supermarkets (if you live close enough).

Excellent flavours, great with or without coconut cream/milk. Have a dryer curry or soup based, either is really tasty.

Excelente compra y envío ! La mejor marca de curry en el mercado . Muy sabroso y a buen precio precio

UPDATE:Keeps well in the fridge since my last review. Used lamb heart x3 @£3:50 which is enough for at least three portions of dinner. Also garlic, ginger, chilli oil(to your level of heat!) coconut milk+creamed, palm sugar. Very good taste and texture with chunks of lamb. Don’t forget the peanuts, crushed! See pics 3-8 served with sticky rice. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This is my third pot, just bigger. What I’ve noticed is each batch is slightly different either in dryness or taste. Easily remedied with the relevant four tastes. This is a roast beef rubbed with paste in foil for three hours, then massamaned. Big chunks of beef!

Blooming loads lol ! Very big tub and great value ! Mxx
