What makes Gaengsom Dai, or “Gaeng Lueang,” so special?

• "Gaengsom Dai" is a spicy, sour curry paste from southern (Dai) Thailand, traditionally used for soup-like curries with fish or seafood. Unlike creamy coconut curries, this dish is based on a clear broth, which the paste adds a bold, lemony, and fiery flavor.

• This paste is one of the hottest in your range – thanks to the intense blend of chili, red onion, garlic, and shrimp paste , rounded off with turmeric, lemongrass, and fresh lemon juice . It is:
  • Sour and fresh thanks to real lemon juice
  • Fiery hot with Thai chili peppers
  • Rich in umami thanks to shrimp paste
  • Naturally salty with pink Himalayan salt

• Authentic & handmade in Germany According to the original Thai recipe , but with the highest standards in production - produced directly by Yak Thai and without any additives.

All these properties make our Gaengsom Dai curry paste a popular choice for those who love Thai cuisine and want to prepare authentic dishes at home.
