As “Krueang Gaeng Gari” (
เครื่องแกงกะหรี่) is called in Thailand, yellow Currypaste is made from dried chili peppers, turmeric,
coriander seeds and cloves, as well as other spices. The paste is also called “Prik Gaeng Gari” (
พริกแกงกะหรี่) or “Nam Prik Gaeng
Gari” (
น้ำพริกแกงกะหรี่).
The intensity as well as the color of the yellow paste depends on the spices used. So curries made with yellow paste can vary in color from a red tone to a very
bright yellow.
