Red curry

Red curry paste

Dried red chilies give Gaeng Phet depth instead of just heat. With coconut milk, bamboo shoots, and Thai basil, it becomes the curry by which every Thai kitchen is measured in fifteen minutes.

The story behind it

Where the red curry comes from

Gaeng Phet is considered the mother of Thai curry pastes — many others are variations of it. Dried red chilies give it its color and a heat that sits deeper and warmer than that of fresh ones.

Chilies themselves are not an ancient ingredient in Thailand: they only arrived in Southeast Asia via Portuguese traders in the 16th century. Before that, heat was provided by pepper.
