Phanaeng, also spelled Panang and Phanang, is another style of Thai red curry. Although it has a spicy kick to it, it usually tends to be milder than other varieties of red curry. Traditionally, this curry is made from ginger, dried chili peppers, galangal, lime leaves and lime zest, coriander, and cumin. Whilst this curry is garnished with peppers, it is unique from other types in the sense that it is purely meat-based and the majority of recipes do not use any vegetables. It can be made from chicken or beef and the sauce usually has a thick consistency. Similar to most other curries, Phanaeng is typically served with a side of rice.
