Prik Keang Phet

Red curry (kaeng phet) traces back to the royal kitchens of central Thailand, where dried red chilies were pounded with lemongrass, galangal, and shrimp paste into a fiery paste. Home cooks adapted it across regions, and today it remains one of the most iconic Thai dishes served worldwide.
