Pad Prik King Recipe

Pad Prik King is a dry Thai curry that doesn’t have coconut milk in it. The curry paste is basically stir fried in oil till fragrant before adding any meat and/or vegetables.

Earlier I had bought like the entire range (well, almost) of Maepranom brand curry pastes which included this Phad Prig Khing curry paste. After making Red Curry and Green Curry, this dish really came as a refreshing change because you wouldn’t taste the same coconut milky flavour in this and the aroma of spices did stand out too. I didn’t use too much oil so as to keep this less greasy and it didn’t require additional salt as the paste was already nicely seasoned. All that was needed was just some palm sugar to give the curry a bit more body. Enjoy!
