Description

Mild curry paste is a concentrated mixture of ground spices and herbs used as a base for preparing curry dishes in Asian cuisine, especially in Thai and Indian cooking. This paste combines aromatic ingredients such as mild chilies, galangal, lemongrass, cilantro, cumin, and garlic, creating a balanced and less spicy flavor than traditional curry pastes.

Its origin lies primarily in Thailand, where it is an essential ingredient for making creamy and fragrant curries, such as green curry or yellow curry, although mild versions are also used in other regions of Southeast Asia. In Indian cuisine, similar variants exist but with different combinations of spices.

Regarding its properties, mild curry paste not only adds an intense and distinctive flavor to dishes but also includes ingredients that possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and digestive benefits, such as ginger and garlic. This makes it not only a tasty but also a healthy ingredient for enriching meals.

In different Latin American countries, mild curry paste is often known by names such as sweet curry paste, light curry paste, or simply curry paste, primarily distinguished by its level of spiciness.
