Maesri Green Curry Paste, 4-Ounce

I liked the taste. It was spicy.

Just the right amount of spice.

Very good but not as spicy as some reviewers said

But be warned I really love spicy food. When I make spicy things about half of my friends complain/won't eat it even though they'll eat anything else I make. As for the whiners we're all in college so they whine that its spicy but apparently not so much so that it is inedible. Those that love spicy food love the curry I make with this. This is also a good way to slip in protein like tofu, beans, etc for a vegetarian since those ingredients are then imbibed with this delicious flavor. If you want to tone it down coconut milk goes great in Thai curries and this one is no exception. I tend to make this one as a crockpot deal. Through in all the ingredients that aren't fast cooking (root vegetables, tubers, meat if you so choose) with this and I generally just use water rather than stock, maybe some canned coconut milk if I am feeling nice to my friends who don't love spicy food, leave it for most of the day. Then through in the fast cooking ingredients (leaf greens, tofu) near the end.

Spicy Disclaimer: If you’re accustomed to buying green Thai chili paste at your local grocery store ( “Thai Kitchen brand)… just know that this is spicier by miles. 🌶️ That being said, really nice flavors! Very rich and made for a flavorful Thai chicken curry. You just might need to add more coconut milk if you’re a bit of a spice-wimp.

I have tried many Thai curry pastes, as well as making my own, so I’m quite used to variations but this was inedible. I don’t know why, exactly, but neither myself or my husband could eat it. Too salty, maybe. Also too spicy? But not in a flavourful way. We love very hot food and this was just not tasty.

The flavor is great! We love to make Thai green curry, and this curry paste is hot and flavorful.

ThIs is awesome! We use it on tomatillo green enchiladas and it is perfect. My husband thought it was just spicy enough. I will buy it again!

I am not thai, but this was recommended to me. Flavour wise this is as close to a resturant flavour I can make at home with thai curry paste. A single can is too much for me to use in a single serving, but I have started making larger portions and freezing them for ready made meals.

Awesome Thai Green Curry paste. Really happy with the flavours. Made an incredible meal. 5/5

Highly recommend this brand if you like Thai curry. I have been using this brand for a long time, just remember that it is spicy, use less if you can and you would love it like I do

Along with the Maesri red and yellow curry pastes this one is awesome. Tin just the right size to make one decent sized curry for 3 to 6 people (depending on how big your appetite is). Makes my kitchen smell like a thai restaurant. Fry an onion (finely chopped). Add a couple of lime leaves (finely sliced) and fry for a minute or so. Add chopped fresh chilli if you want to make it nice and spicy hot. Add the curry paste and fry for a minute or so. Add small tin of coconut cream. Add water to make the sauce the consistency you want. Add 1 tablespoon fish sauce (this will make the difference between a great curry and an awesome curry). Add thai basil roughly chopped. Add whatever other ingredients you fancy - I love it with tofu puffs, broccoli, carrot, bamboo shoots, peas, (add potatoes if you don't mind getting fat, they taste great). You have to add your ingredients in the order which means that they are all just cooked at the same time. This takes a bit of practice. Try this order: bamboo shoots, carrot, (potatoes), broccoli and peas, tofu puffs. Stir gently once the tofu puffs are in there so you don't break them up too much. Serve with jasmine rice. Yummo. Highly recommended.

I swear by this curry paste and the family loves the cooking every time. I will say I do add to the paste with some extra things like lemongrass, ginger and garlic. This is also helpful if you want extra flavour without spice. I've tried many trendy and expensive curry paste brands but this one is the best so far.
