The wild side of Thai cuisine – intense, spicy and authentic.
Our Jungle Curry Paste (Gaeng Pa) brings the authentic taste from the dense forests of Northern Thailand directly to your kitchen. This traditional curry is one of Thailand's most original dishes and stands for pure, honest flavors – entirely without coconut milk, but with all the more herbs, spice, and character.
Origin & Character
Jungle Curry – or "Gaeng Pa" in Thai – originates from the forested regions of Northern and Northeastern Thailand. In areas where coconut palms do not grow, a unique curry tradition developed: clear, light, and extremely aromatic.
Instead of a creamy coconut base, this curry impresses with a spicy, thin broth and an intense herbal flavor. Originally, ingredients sourced directly from the jungle were used – from wild herbs to local meat.
The result: an honest, rustic curry with a robust bite and plenty of spice.
🔥 Flavor
