The Heartbeat of Thai Cooking
Curry is one of the most cherished parts of Thai cuisine — rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. At Kat’s Cuisine, St Albans, our curries tell stories of tradition, warmth, and community. Whether it’s the earthy Massaman, the creamy Panang, or a spicy Red Curry, each carries the essence of Thailand’s culinary heritage.
Layers of Flavour, Crafted with Care
Unlike many Western curries, Thai curries are built on a delicate harmony of sweet, salty, spicy, and sour. The base is a blend of herbs and spices — lemongrass, galangal, garlic, shallots, and chillies — pounded into a fragrant paste. Combined with coconut milk, it becomes rich and velvety, forming the perfect base for tender meats or tofu.
Massaman & Panang: A Tale of Two Curries
Massaman curry has Persian influences, with warming spices like cinnamon and cardamom creating a gentle, nutty flavour. It’s the ultimate comfort dish — hearty, aromatic, and slightly sweet. Panang curry, meanwhile, is thicker and creamier, carrying a subtle sweetness and bold peanut aroma. It’s often less spicy, making it a customer favourite for those new to Thai flavours.
More Than a Meal
In Thailand, curry represents more than just food — it’s about sharing warmth with others. Families gather around the table to enjoy it together, spooning curry over jasmine rice and savouring every bite. That spirit of sharing is what we bring to every dish at Kat’s Cuisine.
