A classic, much loved Thai curry, and a very quick one to cook: panang curry! Instead of being soupy like most other Thai curries, this one is more of a saucy curry with a thick, rich, luscious, flavourful sauce. In this video I also give you a recipe for how to make a “semi-homemade” panang curry paste using store-bought red curry paste as a base. Enjoy!

Also, before sending on any questions be sure to read the written recipe on the website as I often add extra tips and notes not covered in the video.
Thank you for watching!
I've never had a bad panang curry but I noticed some restaurants have that peanut addition and I always thought it was supposed to be there but I think some places don't put it in. Going to have to try this myself.
I LOVE Panang beef curry. I love in Portland, OR and fortunately we've a fair amount of Thai people living here, and therefore, also an abundance of Thai restaurants. For extra color, I've seen people using green beans and bell peppers here, depending on the restaurant. I personally like green beans better because they add fiber and stay mostly neutral to the overall flavor of the dish, while bell peppers being juicier and sweet can distract from the flavor I'm looking for, but that's just me. Thanks for sharing your recipe 🙂
Thank you for the video! This looks so good. I want to try the same but with duck.
I want avoocado recipes hj
I ate this dish for the first time in London in the early 2000's. I loved it so much I went home and cooked it by working out the flavours in my head. It worked first time. Clever hey? Then I tried it with beef and prawns. This is just as good if you want a variation. PS – I didn't make the paste. I bought that. Happy cooking all.
Excellent video curry and the rice too 🙂
My favorite.
I veganized this and it is still delicious because of the spices and intensity of flavor.
Well, this was wonderful. I came to remind myself of the cooking process, but the video reminded me of several things I didn't remember forgetting. Peanuts crushed into the paste, palm sugar, and most importantly, shrimp paste. I even bought shrimp paste this weekend with the express intention to use it in my curry paste. Plus, that tip on altering a store-bought curry paste into panang was super helpful… for future me. Present me is currently in possession of all the needed parts to make my own paste.
Hi Palin what kind of shrimp paste that you use?
what can I use to substitute de coconut milk?
Darn… I accidentally burned my coconut milk on to the pan
I make a lot of curries but always just followed the directions on the back of the Mae Ploy pastes (green, red, massaman, panang) and they say to add oil first, fry the paste for 30 seconds, then add milk. However, after watching your videos, I see that I don't need the oil and I want the oil in the paste to separate. Thank you so much! By the way, made your pad thai recipe (after trying other for so long) and I made sure to use tamarind pulp (and not the concentrate). All I can say is OMG. THAT is what was missing!
I live in the Midwest (no there are no ethic stores near me) and I can’t find kefir leaves. Does anyone have substitute?
Question: I see Pai start with a vegetable oil, yet later in this an another panang recipe I saw of hers she tries to get to coconut oil by having coconut milk separate. Why not just use coconut oil from the very beginning? One potential problem she mentions is canned coconut milk is sometimes harder to work with in this regard. Why vegetable oil?
I noticed that the local Thai restaurant uses Thai basil instead of lime leaves. Is this normal? It’s absolutely delicious!!
Can you use roasted ground cumin and coriander instead of toasted seeds?
Yum

Can you add peanut butter to this recipe? If so, how much would you add to make it a little more "peanutty"?
