Delicious curry paste - so easy to produce an authentic Thai curry at home (I used chicken), and much cheaper than a takeaway. We have tried quite a few different pastes and not been disappointed yet!
Very impressed with the mythaicurry pastes, the jungle curry was a big hit with me and my girlfriend, can't wait to try more from this brilliant range 🥳
A real crowd pleaser for those that don’t appreciate the heat of most Thai curry’s. Very delicious.

First of all, big thanks from a complete beginner for the lovely pastes and recipes. The green, red and yellow curries have all been a big hit in my house and now I am about to try the Massaman paste for the first time. As my family are big on vegetables I would like to add water chestnuts, baby corn and mangetout to this recipe. Is this recommended/allowed and if so at what stage should I add them?
Also, if I don’t want to include the fried onion topping, would you recommend adding an onion to the recipe, possibly sauteeing it before the potatoes and chicken and then adding it back in to the recipe at step 5?

Thank you for your e-mail, glad you are enjoying the pastes so much! There are no hard or fast rules regarding what you wish to put in a Thai Curry. Providing you start out with an authentic Thai curry paste then you can add whatever ingredients you wish. In this case the cooking times will depend on the vegetables that are involved, but most likely no more than 10 or 15 minutes before the end. Certainly, you can saute an onion and add it into the curry just before the end. Hope that helps!
