Thai Yellow Curry

Thai Yellow Curry Mix in a 125ml glass jar

Our authentic Indomex Thai Yellow Curry paste is the mildest of our Thai Curry Pastes but no less fragrant with a balance of warming spice, chilli, garlic, galangal, lemongrass and turmeric which brings an earthy flavour and beautiful warm golden colour. Our Thai Yellow Curry Paste is a delicious base for more gentle creamy Thai-style curries redolent with coconut and makes an excellent base for Panang-style Curry. This is one of our best-selling pastes in the Indomex Range and our secret recipe dates back through the generations.
