Yellow Curry Paste

Yellow curry paste is a vibrant, aromatic blend of spices and herbs used predominantly in Thai cuisine. Originating from Thailand, it is distinguished by its distinctive yellow hue, derived from turmeric, which is also responsible for its mild earthy flavor. The paste features a harmonious balance of sweet, savory, and spicy notes, thanks to ingredients like lemongrass, galangal, garlic, shallots, and chili peppers. Its texture is smooth and paste-like, making it easy to incorporate into dishes. When cooked, yellow curry paste infuses dishes with warmth and depth, thickening slightly and enhancing the overall richness of curries and stews without overwhelming other ingredients.
