THAI DANCER , ORIENTAL PANANG SAUCE 227 GR

Panang is one of the most well known curries in Thai cuisine, typically found in central and southern regions of the country. As with other types of gaeng (curry), the backbone of flavor for the dish comes from an intensely aromatic curry paste. In the case of panang, the paste starts out with many of the same components as a basic gaeng phet (red curry)—chiles, lemongrass, galangal, makrut lime zest, cilantro roots, garlic, shallots, shrimp paste, white pepper, coriander, and cumin seeds. What sets panang curry paste apart is the addition of roasted peanuts and nutmeg, which lend it a distinctive nutty flavor, warm spice aroma, and rich, full-bodied texture.
