Authentic Thai Panang Curry Recipe
Panang curry is creamy and delicious Thai dish. Creamy coconut milk and curry paste sauce make it more creamy.
Another food that is actually quite unique to Thailand is the Panang curry. It is highly delicious and peppery in taste. What mainly constitutes the making of Panang curry is a rather weird concoction known as curry paste. Among ingredients in that paste are garlic, which gives it a pungently strong flavor, hot chili peppers, and a few specific herbs and spices. Probably one of the most savory and delectably flavored dishes feted in Thai cuisine is this chicken curry.
To tie everything together, this Panang curry is topped with some sweet Thai basil and a ton of other delectable spices. In addition to being excellent, it takes less than 30 minutes to cook in the wok. Because of this, this dish is a simple option for hectic, time-sensitive evenings.
