This Thai curry is thought to have been named after Penang island, which might explain the use of soy sauce, a key ingredient in Malaysian cooking as a legacy of its ethnic Chinese population.

The pork is fried in peanuts and coconut cream resulting in a rich, sweet curry lifted by fresh lime, chilli and basil.

We had a great time making this Panang Curry from the World Curries book and an even better time eating it! The coconut rice, carrot sambal and cucumber raita were the perfect accompanies to this dish! They were also from the Curry Legends book with nice easy recipes and incredible taste!

It looks perfect - the accompanying dishes really do take it to a whole next level, great work!

Delicious Panang curry with garlic pilau rice and a side of Jamaican Festival Dumplings! 10/10 for scrumptiousness. YUM

Great combination - sounds DEEE-licious!

5/5

Really nice, tried it with chicken rather than pork. Didn't have fresh basil so I used dried but still amazing flavours.

It's all about improvising at the moment! Great job!

My favourite! Chicken panang, great with beef and halloumi too!

Great idea! Happy spicing!

This curry was one the best Curry Legend recipes we've made. We swapped out the pork for chicken and made the chilli salt fruit and nam prik pla accompaniments. Really tasty and we can't wait to make it again.

Looks beautiful - very colourful!

So me and my partner were in Thailand and bali 2 years ago and panang was always my favorite we've done all the Thai recipes and this is 100% my favorite, 2nd time we've made it and everytime I lose my mind over it, recommended it to all my travel friends and anyone else who will listen! Pre ordered the set for my best friend's 30th in July!!

That's really great to hear! Long live the memories!

5/5

One of our favourite recipes great flavour, heat balance just right even though we were concerned about putting in 3 red chillis! Definitely no need to go to the curry house when things get back to normal. Having travelled through Thailand numerous times this is very close to the authentic curries. Thank you to The Spicery for another great recipe!

That's brilliant! Happy spicing!

Really nice. Don’t often make curry using pork

We hope you enjoyed the change - it's great to mix things up a bit sometimes and discover some new favourites!
