We had Gerrod and Kristy over for dinner late last year, who had just returned from their big honeymoon in Thailand. Amongst the many memories, photos and gifts that they brought home, they somehow managed to find something I would never have thought possible… a “Kua Curry Paste”, which they presented to me over dinner. After deciding to make a little bit of a special dinner last night with it, I of course, just had to blog about it.
You could be easily deceived by first impressions into thinking that this little packet contained yet another red curry paste, but the smell and taste produced by its special little mix of chillies and spices would convince you otherwise. The heat contained by the paste was the perfect amount, enough to start a bit of a sweat, but not the crazy tongue-numbing sensation that some curries carry. The trio of chicken, beef and prawns accompanied by the multitude of vegetables certainly made for one of my best home-made curries yet! Thanks again Gerrod and Kristy.
Holy moly, that looks awesome!
Wow! Sounds great Pat. I’m glad you enjoyed it! I don’t think the Kua curry can take too much of the credit though. Your cooking skills are surely behind the success, Mr Kua! I love the authentic way you’ve presented the rice too.
Thanks guys. I must say that the curry paste was just awesome – I’ll have to place orders with people that are going over there in the future ;-).
