Description

Panang is one of Thailand’s most cherished curries, known for its gentle richness and fragrant depth. Originating in central Thailand, it is a curry of warmth and creamy coconut, lifted with lemongrass and kaffir lime, layered with red chilli, galangal, cinnamon and mace. The experience is smooth, aromatic and quietly indulgent.

Spice Zen’s Panang Curry Spice Blend captures this character through a harmonious composition of certified organic herbs and spices. Bright lemongrass and kaffir lime rind provide citrus clarity. Galangal and mace offer soft warmth. Coriander seed and cumin build savoury structure. A measured chilli presence gives refined Thai heat.

Hand-roasted and stone-ground in small batches at our gluten free Sydney facility using certified organic botanicals, this blend preserves natural oils, colour and aromatic vibrancy. Packed fresh in recyclable amber glass jars, it delivers the depth of traditional Panang without the need for multiple specialty ingredients.

The cooking profile moves easily between mild and bold expressions. Keep it creamy and gentle for a classic family-style Panang, or increase the heat with fresh chillies for a deeper red curry variation. Its dry format ensures clarity, freshness and precise control in every dish.
