Thailand
has become one of Britain's most popular holiday destinations.
Floating vegetable markets, pagodas, elephants, royal barges,
friendly people and tasty food are good reasons for visiting.
Back
home, Thai restaurants are becoming very popular; and the
most demanded dishes are Thai curries.
Equally
as delicious as Indian curries, they are quite different in
taste, being medium chilli-hot, countered with creamy coconut
milk, yet fragrant using unique Thai fresh herbs.
Unlike
all other Thai curry sauces Madhuban's contain no chemicals,
are as fresh as if you'd made them at home yourself.
Developed
by our Bangkok - trained chef, we use only the finest ingredients,
including those elusive fresh herbs specially air-freighted
to the UK from Thailand.
It
makes our Thai curry sauces unbeatable for their fresh authentic
taste.
Let
Madhuban put the traditional taste of Thailand into your fridge.

Sauce, please see the recipes

History:
Thai Green & Red Curry Sauces
Thai curries are very spicy and unlike Indian curries, they
are quite thin in texture. They contain all the usual aromatic
Thai flavourings such as fish sauce, garlic, galangale, coriander,
pepper, shrimp paste, lemongrass, lime leaf and holy purple
basil.
In
Thailand their curry sauces are literally laced with intensely
hot baby red or green chillies, though Madhuban restrict the
chilli level in their sauce you can always add more.
The integral ingredients are ground into a curry paste (krung).
This is fried gently and a number of other ingredients are
added including shallots, more herbs and spices and coconut
milk. Gentle simmering gives a subtle red colour (not a lurid
one). The Thai word for curry is Khaeng - literally meaning
spicy liquid.
Green curry is probably Thailand's most popular dish, inside
and outside the country. Green curry sauce is a delicate blend
of all these ingredients, plus green items, such as green
bell pepper, sweet basil leaves and spring onion leaves.
Red
curry sauce is a delicate blend of all these ingredients,
plus red items such as red bell pepper, carrot and paprika.
