SIMPLE PANANG CURRY
This is the recipe we use at our house to make panang curry. It's very basic without frills or many extras and generally uses what we always have in the pantry, including canned curry paste. Adjust the heat by adjusting the amount of curry paste that you add. I make large batches of this of 10 to 12 servings, so that we have plenty of leftovers. My kids love this dish as written, which is very spicy! But if you are not a spice lover, start with 2 Tablespoons or less of the curry paste for 3 pounds of ground turkey. You can also substitute other protein sources, including tofu, beef, shrimp, and chicken.

Steps:
- Put everything into a food processor and blend until smooth. There will be green flecks from the cilantro. Taste, it should be tomato with a sharp after-bite of "heat". If it is too acid from the tomato paste, add more salt and pepper. Maybe it's not hot enough, add more sambal. If it's not herby enough, then add more cilantro and blend again. The ground caraway gives that low, back of the tongue smoothness to the curry. If you don't taste that, then add more caraway.
- So, you really should be able to taste all the ingredients both separately and as a whole, that is, you will be able to identify the flavors as being what they are within the context of the whole of the panang paste. Remember, this is the base for the dish, so it is going to be intense.
AUTHENTIC PANANG CURRY WITH WHITE RICE
Spicy Panang Curry is a popular Thai restaurant staple. My favorite is a simplified version made with plain vegetables, but chicken, beef or pork may be added. Add steamed white rice and you have a complete meal. Watch out! This dish tends to be spicy! Note to squeamish: Use a little less curry paste and add a bit more coconut milk to temper the hot!

PANANG TOFU AND VEGETABLE CURRY
Steps:
- Method: Heat half the oil in a thick bottomed pan and saute the tofu till they turn golden. You can also deep fry them, but I rarely deep fry anything at home. Mix the panang curry paste in a mortar and pestle or roughly grind it in a mixer. Set it aside. Heat the rest of the oil and temper it with red chilli. Add the panang curry paste and saute for a couple of minutes. Then add the coconut milk and let it cook on medium heat (closed lid) for 4-5 minutes. Then add soy sauce, lime zest, sugar and salt. Add tofu and the vegetables and cook till the vegetables are done and the curry has a thick sauce. In the meantime, boil rice noodles as per the package instructions. Serve the tofu panang curry over rice noodles and garnish with fresh cilantro.

THAI PANANG CURRY WITH BABY EGGPLANTS AND TOFU
A Thai-inspired recipe with eggplants and tofu. I am not Asian, and I don't want to claim this is an authentic Thai recipe! I had baby eggplants at hand, and I looked for ways to cook them. I couldn't find a single recipe that would satisfy me, so I got inspiration by 3-4 different ones, based on the ingredients I had available. The ready-made curry paste made it easy to prepare, and tasty for us. :) Serve with rice.
